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, TWO SOLDIERS, ONE UNION, ONE CONFEDERATE, MUST COOPERATE IN ORDER TO SURVIVE BEING STRANDED IN THE SONORAN DESERT.

THE WAR BETWEEN IS MORE THAN A WAR FILM, MORE THAN A WESTERN. ALTHOUGH POSSESSING QUALITIES OF BOTH GENRES IN EQUAL MEASURE IT IS A UNIQUE STORY SET DURING A LITTLE-KNOWN CHAPTER OF THE CIVIL WAR: NAMELY, THE CONFEDERATE ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE TERRITORIES IN THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST IN 1862, AND THE UNION FORCES FROM CALIFORNIA WHO MARCHED INTO THE SONORAN DESERT TO CONFRONT THEM. IT IS A STORY OF TWO AMERICANS REPRESENTING A GREAT POLITICAL DIVIDE WHO MUST LEARN TO TRUST ONE ANOTHER AND WORK TOWARD A COMMON GOAL: SURVIVAL.

PICACHO PEAK

Prominent geologic formation located in the Sonoran Desert of what is now Arizona. The western-most action of the Civil War took place here in April, 1862.

His forces were defeated on the field and Canby retreated back to the fort, but the Confederates abandoned the field, their condition too weak to maintain the upper hand.

A stopover on the Butterfield trail where stages could change horses, find food and forage and passengers could have a meal or even lodging for the night.

APACHE PASS

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.
