ABOUT THE SHOW: Summer, 1917: America commits itself to defeat Kaiser Wilhelm’s German armies in the trenches of Europe. At home in Menominee, Michigan, the War Loyalty Board ramps up its campaign to collect war bond funds through Liberty Loan drives. The Beckers, a German farm family, struggle to navigate anti-German prejudice while keeping food on the table. And although Reverend Fritz Leonhardt opposes the war, most of his German congregation at Christ Lutheran Church supports it. Battle lines are drawn, driving wedges between families and friendships.

An armistice can end a war, but it cannot heal deep divisions or broken relationships. Can anything unite a community embroiled in both local and global conflict? And after peace is finally won, who still has the right to call themselves a “real American”?
