The War Between

Set during the early, uncertain months of the American Civil War, The War Between is a stark and intimate Western about survival beyond ideology. In April 1862, deep in the unforgiving Arizona Territory, two soldiers from opposing sides of the conflict find themselves stranded in the vast Sonoran Desert. With supplies dwindling and the elements closing in, sworn enemies are forced into an uneasy alliance where survival depends on trust, cooperation, and shared humanity. As the desert strips away uniforms, ranks, and loyalties, the men must confront not only the harsh landscape but the beliefs that once defined them.
