Simon and Crystal travel back to WWII and meet their young grandfather.
Simon is less than thrilled at having to attend a veterans’ ceremony with his curmudgeonly Grandpa Cates (Mavor Moore). Curious to get some perspective on their Grandpa when he was a young man, Crystal attempts to bring back Grandpa’s war buddy, Alex D’Amico, but the concussion from an exploding mortar shell accidentally propels them back to war-torn France. Lost and running for their lives, the kids are rescued by two young Canadian soldiers-- their grandpa and his buddy, Alex. After 36 hours in a war zone, dodging bullets and encountering many of the horrors of war, Crystal and Simon return to the present with a greater understanding of what their grandfather and men like him experienced. They also bring a gift from the past that helps their grandfather to finally exorcise his wartime demons. Available in VHS and MPEG-1 format. |
