Fidelis

In 1966, twenty-year old Nick Edwards enters the Marine Corps with only the barest notion of who he is or what he’s worth. The Corps trains him, shapes him, makes him, and sends him to Vietnam. It’s only when Nick returns stateside that he meets his most insidious enemy: the Marine Corps itself. When loyalty and honor are rewarded with denial and silence, what is the immense toll it takes on a man’s soul? A powerful, provocative examination of a darker chapter of our country’s history, Fidelis is a must see new drama about the courage of our convictions and standing up for what is right. Leah C. Gardiner (The Loneliness of the Long Distrance Runner, generations) directs.
