Parkland Entertainment has released a trailer for the upcoming First World War drama The Rifleman. The film is an adaptation of Aleksandrs Grīns novel Blizzard of Souls, and is based on the author’s own war experiences in a Latvian battalion; watch it here…
The Rifleman pays stark witness to the horrors and brutality of the First World War, as seen through the eyes of an innocent 17-year-old farm-boy turned soldier. Though he is underage, and his dad, a former marksman, is overage for the army, they are both conscripted into one of Latvia’s first national battalions. The thrill of training is soon followed by reality, as shells burst around them in the endless mud. He grows up on the battlefield, fighting at the side of his father and brother, their lives are constantly in jeopardy.
The Rifleman is set for a digital release on September 14th, followed by a DVD release on September 21st.
