Event Details

Kentucky, 1861. Most Americans predict that the Civil War will end by Christmas, but Henry and Francis Mellon couldn't care less.  Bracing for another winter on their struggling farm, the brothers have become suffocatingly close.  Francis' practical jokes are wearing thin, then one night, Henry disappears.  Only months later does Francis learn that Henry has joined the Union army, leaving each brother to discover what the war will bring. 
"At once a witty comedy about arrested development and a deeper rumination on individual experiences during wartime, Men Go to Battle  is an effective period piece with a contemporary soul." Eric Kohn, Indiwire
In English, 98 minutes, not rated.
