Summary

"[This movie] follows the story of Augusta Chiwy, a black Belgian nurse whose volunteer service in a US Army 10th Armored Division medical aid station during World War II's battle of the Bulge exemplifies the best of the human spirit in the worst of times. This incredible story begins with two nurses, Renee LeMaire and Augusta Chiwy, as they treat patients in the Bastogne aid station. Renee was killed on Christmas Eve and became famous as 'The Angel of Bastogne', "Augusta's story was lost to history for 65 years, until military historian and author martin King searched for her in Brussels. Augusta Chiwy's story is one of courage, compassion, and great individual heroism in the face of bigotry and racial discrimination."--Back cover
