That Should Be A Movie: The Battle of Antietam

Short Pitch

It is called Antietam

It is in the vein of A Bridge Too Far

It is like All Quiet On The Western Front meets Gettysburg

It follows the common Johnny Reb soldiers of The Army of Northern Virginia

And the common Billy Yank soldiers of the Army of the Potomac

As they fight to survive and win a war for either national independence or national unity.

Problems arise when Johnny Reb’s army is caught spread out and Billy Yank’s army is sent to battle him in head-on, piecemeal attacks.

Now together their individual courage, bravery and humanity will combine to produce dozens of human-interest stories on the Bloodiest Day in American History.
