Hürtgen (2024)

Inspired by the harrowing story of director Mark A. Frederick's grandfather; "Hürtgen" is a tale of isolation and survival during one of the costliest battles of World War II. As the Allies push east into the heart of the Third Reich, American divisions enter a thickly-wooded and fiercely-defended wilderness on the Belgium-Germany border known as the Hürtgen Forest. Sergeant Thomas Nycum oversees vital communications in the 4th Infantry Division and witnesses a vicious cycle of violence that threatens to destroy his unit. Fear, loss, and bewilderment ultimately take a toll. Amid the longest battle in U.S. Army history, Nycum must find the strength to carry out his job. In Hürtgen, death seems to be the only certainty.
