It is the American Civil War that has sparked real debate in the world of many. The film explores the lives of four people as they must fight for survival and for the truth everywhere.

This isn't the usual Civil War tale of learning to respect a man regardless of his race.... It's about how true freedom comes from love, from respect, and from self-sacrifice.
