| The
Troma Team is produ to present Academy Award winners Yul
Brynner (The King and I) and Orson Welles (Citizen
Kane) in the Oscar-nominated epic The Battle of
Neretva. War has never been so desperate, so brutal
and so beautiful as in this struggle of the raging forces
of evil that threaten to tear the planet in two. A war classic
that defies category, The Battle of Neretva is
a bittersweet symphony of chaos and glory.
It is January
of 1943, and World War II is in full effect. While the German
forces are establishing the dark empire of Hitler's Third
Reich by sweeping southern Europe, there is a secret war
being fought in the Balkans by a group of fierce and brave
Yugoslavian rebel freedom fighters. With little more than
the clothes on their backs and the lust for sovereignty
in the hearts, their only choice is to fight, whether it
be for victory or for death.
Besides Schinder's
List, there has never been a film which has struck
at the heart of crisis and shown the true spirit of humanity
the way The Battle of Neretva has.
