Soldier's Story

"Totally Compelling.." - Variey

Tensions flare in this gripping film about a murder on a black army base near the end of World War II. Captain Davenport (Howard E. Rollins, Jr.), a proud black army attorney, is sent to Fort Neal, Louisiana, to investigate the ruthless shooting death of Sergeant Waters (Adolph Caesar). Through interviews with Sarge´s men, Davenport learns that he was a vicious man who served the white officer? Of could he have been a black soldier embittered by Waters´ constant race baiting?

Directed by Norman Jewison from Charles Fullers Pulitzer Prize-winning play, A Soldier´s Story is both a spellbinding mystery and a superb drama that transcends race.
