FOXHOLE

THE STORY 
After a bloody skirmish leaves several of their numbers dead, three inexperienced British troops discover a lone enemy survivor cowering in a foxhole. Upon learning the terrified soldier is only fifteen, the group fractures, torn between executing the young German and offering him a chance at survival. The ever-pragmatic Palmer advocates for his swift dispatch, unable to see past the Nazi uniform, while the idealistic Barnes, driven by compassion, argues for the boy’s life.

Fearful of another ambush, and with their discourse turning violent, the British soldiers are forced to grapple with questions of morality and mercy as they consider the boy’s fate. 

Foxhole is a timely exploration of the nature of war, the unexpected parallels between its unwitting participants and its unrelenting grip on humanity.
