The Lighthouse International Film Festival 2009

Brothers in Arms tells the story of the dramatic encounter between an American G.I. and a German officer during World War II. When James Newton heads off to the front in Northern France, he leaves his heart and home behind. Through the months of service, his spirit is kept alive by the love letters he receives, but his perseverance is put to the ultimate test when his armored column is ambushed. James finds himself lost and abandoned in the frigid forests of 1944 France. James must ultimately decide whether to work cooperatively with the German soldier in order to survive in the frozen woods preceding the Battle of the Bulge, or give over to despair. Brothers in Arms is the story of two young souls serving in the Second Great War, where survival demands a friendship between enemies. The film was shot on location in Tinicum and New Britain, Pennsylvania, with battle sequences shot at the Pennsylvania National Guard Headquarters at Fort Indiantown Gap.
