Grave Dawn (2010)
Inspired by the accounts of Erwin Buchholz, 'Grave Dawn' is the story of a young German soldier during the waning months of WWII. Outspoken against the war, Erwin is sent to the Eastern front where he is ordered to stand guard over captured Russians soldiers. Beautiful Austrian countryside belies the looming threat.  With starving prisoners in his charge and the front line closing in, Erwin confronts both his superior officers and his humanity.
