Taking Chance
Film by Michael Strobl and Ross Katz
DVD PN 1997.2 .T35 2009
 
 
 
  Taking Chance is a movie based on a true story about a Lt. Colonel in the Marines whose cathartic journey begins with volunteering to escort the remains of a deceased soldier to his hometown in Wyoming.  There are no surprises or plot twists, just the human experience of people who recognize the tragedy of one man’s death and the impact we have as we touch each other’s lives.

 

The special features were fabulous because you meet the real people represented in the story, glimpse how one young soldier lived, and the impact he made during his short 20 year life.
