Sons and Soldiers

Sons and Soldiers is moving forward as a feature film under Jagman Productions and producer Josh Green, with Israeli filmmaker Avi Nesher attached to direct. The project adapts Bruce Henderson's New York Times bestseller chronicling the true story of German-born Jewish refugees who fled to America in the 1930s and were later recruited by the U. S. Army as intelligence specialists. Trained at Camp Ritchie in Maryland, these young men used their mastery of German language and culture to interrogate prisoners and gather intelligence across European combat zones during World War II. Nesher, whose recent credits include Image of Victory and The Matchmaker, described the film as a story about bereavement and redemption that will challenge stereotypes and showcase a rarely-seen dimension of warfare where language and psychology became decisive forces. The project is in early development with no production timeline announced.
