9 Hours Left to Help Get MENSCHEN to Film Festivals!

6 Sep

ImagePlease support a great film that was made here in beautiful Colorado by some great and talented people.  Here is more about the project:

MENSCHEN is German word for “human beings”. The film challenges prejudice behind stereotypes like “enemy”, “disabled”, or even “hero”. 

SPRING 1945, the war is over but the fight to survive goes on. The Wehrmacht forces are weary from retreat, the Allies are closing in. A single Austrian captain attempts to guide his platoon behind the Russian lines to surrender to the Americans. They take under their wing a young man with a severe disability. As the loyalty of the captain’s men is tested, the bond with the boy evokes a painful secret from the past. 

MENSCHEN is a German-language U.S/Austrian co-production. The film was shot entirely in the state of Colorado in Spring 2012.
