Aprašymas

In1943, war correspondent Jack Savoy boards a troop carrier bound for North Africa. Aboard the ship, Jack discovers that the Army has segregated the troops by color, strict schedules and chicken wire fences. Overseas, Jack builds a portfolio of stories about pitched battles and amphibious assaults. He interviews Tuskegee Airmen, Buffalo Soldiers and Tanned Yanks assigned to perform ordinary tasks under extraordinary circumstances. In an era of war and heightened civil rights activism, Negro newspaper publishers reject the notion of liberating Europe with a segregated army. Some war reporters question whether Jack, a naturalized Noir Canadian, is committed to their cause. His most vocal critic may be Lt. Rachel Todd. However, because of the Army's strict quota on commissions for colored nurses, she must hide her activism and her love for Jack behind a little white lie.
