The Damned

In the winter of 1862, the US Army sends a company of volunteer soldiers west to patrol borderlands no one has mapped. Roberto Minervini cast amateurs as the scouts, including Jeremiah Knupp and Cuyler Ballenger, and let them improvise their dialogue on location in Montana. As their orders shift, the men talk less about the war and more about why they are there, and the camp sits under a winter sky.
