EVERYMAN’S LAND
An evergreen international streaming event that can be produced as a feature film or a limited series.
Screenplay by Eric Deacon and Katherine Orrison
Time stood still in No-Man’s Land and for one brief moment the spirit of fellowship threatened to rise-up and take control. In a simple impulse, men came together in the face of a desperate plight, calculations slipped away, and the human soul stood out in its instinct towards infinite goodwill. Inspired by a seminal moment in history, one that has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions for over a hundred years, EVERYMAN’S LAND revolves around the legendary Christmas cease-fire of 1914. At its heart the story portrays friendship across battle lines, including a forbidden attraction between an Indian officer and an English nurse. We live in a pivotal moment, balancing on the precipice of another possible World War. Why are we trapped in repeating the trauma of mass murder? EVERYMAN’S LAND dramatizes one of humanity’s more sane and fascinating intervals. This profound historical narrative demonstrates what is possible when humans choose to express and enact compassion, rather than violent destruction.
