Description:
This black and white UCLA student film, preserved by the Academy Film Archive, depicts a truce between Union and Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. Initially exchanging fire across a stream, the opposing sides negotiate a one-hour ceasefire that leads to an unexpected connection. Based on Robert W. Chambers' 1897 short story "Pickets," the film won an Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Two Reel) in 1955 and was added to the National Film Registry in 2007 for its cultural importance.
