But with a little help from Clair’s children (who now populate several of the most esteemed orchestras in the country), they pulled together a fully realized retelling that proved to be worthy of a slot on the big screen. After his training in 1911, he joined the 141st Infantry Regiment, based in Marseille, in 1912 as a drummer.

Fans of YA fantasy, readers of all ages, have been captivated by Instrument of Peace, impressed by Rebecca’s well thought-through magic system, the depth of her characters, and the believable nature of their relationships.

Nor is it if all your interested in is fast forwarding looking for gore and suffering in the death march or brutality of say Unbroken or To End All Wars, because you won't find that here. The thing I liked most was that these airmen - well, at least one of them - showed genuine compassion for the civilians that died.

Now behind German barbed wire and oppression, Cline and his fellow POWs must find a way to bond together to not just survive but transcend. Because the real Clair Cline died years ago and rarely ever told this story in public, there were a lot of gaps left for the filmmakers to fill in on their own.

Conscription, taxation, constitutional change, bureaucracy, logistics, all of these dominated countries that never witnessed a campaign. The vampire isn’t quite as terrifying as he first thought, but she’s not the only monster at the Academy. Instrument of War is a period piece based on the true story of Clair Cline, a US Army Air Forces pilot shot down over occupied Holland during World War II and held at the German Stalag Luft 1 POW camp, and “The Prison Camp Violin” he made from materials found in the camp and by trading Red Cross cigarettes for a bow. That said, I thought it was lame and couldn't have cared less if the American "hee-ro" survived or not.Originally a carpenter, during World War One, Czeslaus Nowakowski took part in numerous battles on both the Western Front and Eastern Front.

Wesley Johnson's lensing is edgier than we often see from a BYU production, yet it fits the film beautifully while living within BYU's usual emphasis on strong values. Conscription tells us much about the homelands of the soldiers — the languages they spoke, the professions they served, their willingness to serve what to many was an alien monarch. Meanwhile Frank, the most reserved of the prisoners, ends up delivering some of the most powerful lines of the movie when he discusses meeting the family of someone he killed, challenging the belief that anyone is the good guy when it comes to war. Detailed accounts of troops and Field Marshals leading up to the war and all of the major battles, personal struggles of the troops in combat, effects of the vast amount of weaponry used for the first time in such a war, and it goes into some of the politics of the war that led to its end.We host a range of events throughout the year based around our collections offering the opportunity to engage with our work. His works are grounded on unpublished sources and physical realities, and are characterised by the attention that is given to the visual presentation – and not least the maps, which he draws himself. With the authentic look of their sets, and a strong US dollar, Instrument of War looks like it was shot for several times its actual production cost. Its value, therefore, is primarily in driving an understanding of larger concepts and perspectives on various debates surrounding myths of the First World War. This is a minor moment and it doesn’t kill the movie by far, but it’s hard to shake the feeling that it probably would have been much more interesting to see how Clair would have crafted a bow on his own.

Filmed in cooperation with Cline's family, the story even includes excerpts from the diary of Cline's wife that she kept throughout his time in captivity. A neglected housewife makes an unexpected friend at a nursing home, where she hears a true tale about an independent woman in 1920s Alabama, who ran the town diner, served food to people of color and protected her sister-in-law from an abusive spouse.

In an effort to boost his own spirits and those of his comrades, Cline began trading Red Cross rations with other prisoners and the guards in an effort to construct a violin from bunk bed slats, chair legs, dried glue from the bottom of chairs, and a shard of glass that was used as a woodcarving tool.
