TRAILER

A UNIQUE STORY OF THE CIVIL WAR.
TWO ENEMIES, ONE COMMON GOAL. SURVIVAL.

April 1862, set in Arizona territory during the opening months of the American Civil War, The War Between, is about two enemy soldiers who must cooperate in order to survive being stranded in the Sonoran Desert.

An intimate epic, THE WAR BETWEEN is a personal story of a soldier who has lost his memory and must piece together the shards of a broken identity and survive being stranded in the unforgiving desert. It is a unique story set during a little-known chapter of the Civil War: the confederate attempt to capture territories in the American Southwest, and the Union Forces from California who marched into the Sonoran Desert to push them out. Set during the first year of the Civil War, he encounters an enemy soldier and a Chiricahua Apache and they form an unlikely trio who are on their own personal journeys of survival and self-discovery. All three have their beliefs and prejudices confronted and challenged as they strive to reach safety. It is a timeless and timely story of how our history and culture both divide and unite us.

A natural freshwater spring, Apache Spring, emerges from a geological fault line running through the pass. The history of Apache Pass begins with this spring – as the only reliable water source for many miles, the spring served as a critical resupply point for early travelers through the area.
