Unfolding over the span of 36 hours in three separate wars – The American Civil War, World War I, and Iraq – FOXHOLE follows a small group of soldiers trapped in a confined space as they grapple with morality, futility, and an increasingly volatile combat situation. FOXHOLE is the follow-up feature after STRAY BULLETS (2016, Screen Media) from Jack Fessenden, who was 19 years old during the shoot in August of 2019. The film is remarkable for its structure, which follows five soldiers stuck in a single location during three different wars, but also for its concern with classic themes of honor, sacrifice, camaraderie and cowardice. It is infused with an aesthetic integrity as each war is tackled with a different shooting style and cinematic look. And it is a keenly observed character study that examines the shifting roles of race and gender over time against the backdrop of seemingly endless human conflict.
