The Yellow Birds

"The Yellow Birds" is a war drama film that tells the story of two young U.S. soldiers, Bartle and Murph, navigating the horrors of the Iraq War under the command of Sergeant Sterling. When only one of the soldiers returns home, he is tortured by a promise he made to the other's mother before their deployment. The film explores the emotional toll of war on those who return, particularly through the character of Bartle, played by Alden Ehrenreich, as he grapples with PTSD and a complicated relationship with his mother.
