Field of Lost Shoes - WAR MOVIE

It is based on the true story of a group of cadets from the Virginia Military Institute who participated in the Battle of New Market against Union forces during the American Civil War. The battle was fought in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia on May 15, 1864.

The film's title refers to the large number of soldiers' boots left on the battlefield due to the muddy conditions during the battle. Ten cadets died in the battle. I’d never heard of this movie. Being a southern boy, I watched it out of curiosity. It’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in a while, it might be an Indie film, but it beats the hell out of the crap Hollywood is forcing down our throats these days.

What an excellent and sad film.
