MOVIE SCREENING SCHEDULE
The Halyard Heroes
Synopsis:
In the spring of 1944, during the final stages of World War II, in a Serbian village, the largest single rescue operation of American and Allied pilots in the history of world aviation, known as “Operation Halyard,” was taking place. In the background of this historic event, the story of three Jović brothers and their family unfolds, torn between opposing ideologies. While Mirko fights within the ranks of the Yugoslav Army in the Homeland, Sreten joins the partisans. Ilija, the youngest male heir whom his father wishes to protect, is torn between the two sides. Their saga and their individual tragic fates represent a paradigm of Serbian national tragedy, fratricide, and ideological divisions that lead an entire nation to ruin.
