About The Color of Sacrifice
In 1933, two women are divided over a segregated pilgrimage to France’s Great War graves. Thelma Hayes longs to visit her husband’s resting place and connect their son to the father he never knew. His mother, Charlotte, refuses to accept unequal recognition of his sacrifice.
Bound by grief, both must weigh dignity against one last goodbye. Inspired by true events, THE COLOR OF SACRIFICE explores love, loss, and the painful cost of remembrance.
