LOVE, COURAGE AND THE BATTLE OF BUSHY RUN
Noe, there’s a title!
Love, Courage And The Battle Of Bushy Run is a fascinating true story that you’ve probably never heard of… until now. Set for its UK premiere this May, this powerful new historical epic is set to shine a light on the momentous battle that changed the course of American history and forged a nation.
Based on C. M. Bomberger’s novel The Battle Of Bushy Run, this important saga has been brought to the big screen thanks to his son Col. A. Hess Bomberger II a decorated American WWII veteran, who was determined to bring his father’s book to life. He finally got to see the finished film before sadly passing away last year at the age of 101, making the feature all the more poignant.
The year is 1763 and following Britain’s victory over France in the Seven Years’ War, tension is mounting in the American Colonies. With the departure of French troops, the native population fear British retaliation and under the leadership of Ottawa Chief Pontiac, start a violent siege at Fort Pitt, Pennsylvania.
Determined to save their settlement and the hundreds of men, women and children trapped within and facing certain death, the courageous Colonel Henry Bouquet (Connolly) decides to do whatever it takes to save them.
He enlists anyone and everyone he can, forming an army that sees brave and fearless Scottish Highlanders, British soldiers and American volunteers stand side by side as they set forth in an epic battle… a war that made a great impact on the nation, laying the groundwork for more open communication.
Told with sensitivity and nuance, the film emphasises the human cost of war, the complexity of history and reminds us that heroes come in all forms.
With astounding battle scenes, epic action and fantastic performances from leading man Tom Connolly alongside a stellar ensemble cast, the film, directed by Dave Alan Johnson (Christmas with Tucker, Sue Thomas F.B.Eye) and Larry A. McLean (Pacific Rim, The Unhealer), Love, Courage And The Battle Of Bushy Run is a timeless tale of sacrifice and bravery which is set for its digital release on 13 May 2024 from Trinity Creative.
