About this episode
The episode features a trailer for the RECALL story set in a military academy during a time of impending war.
RECALL trailer A dying military academy. A country drifting toward war. A group of boys told to stand straight, swallow fear, and call it honor. Set in 1961 Miami, RECALL follows Stephen Lishinsky, a bright-eyed new cadet who volunteers for military school and walks into something far more dangerous than discipline. Inside Miami Military Academy, abandoned boys become soldiers before they understand what war costs. A Brooklyn hustler steals weapons for Cuban exiles. A Cuban refugee carries the murder of his father and the dream of taking his country back. A decorated Navy hero drinks through old wounds while trying to protect boys the world has already thrown away. Then Cuba moves closer. The Bay of Pigs moves closer. The rifles are not pretend anymore. Written by Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison, and once optioned and held by the great Al Pacino, RECALL is funny, brutal, beautiful, and dangerous. A coming-of-age story about loyalty, sacrifice, broken institutions, and the moment boys playing soldier discover the adults have been playing something much worse. Starring Alan Rosenberg, Carson Bolde, Stone Garcia, Wesley Kimmel, Dan Lauria, Kensington Tallman, Roxton Garcia…
