Option 1Can't Watch?
If the movie poster hasn't loaded, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

A new tab will open and you'll be prompted to complete a basic security check like a captcha test.

After completing the above Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now either start playing within your browser or begin downloading to your device.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check. It's usually a captcha test or simply involves checking a box.

This is a workaround method but has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the normal player will not include subs here.

Plot – Spoilers:
In WW2 Louisiana during the time of segregation in the US Army, a black sergeant, Waters, is murdered and the Klan suspected by his company of soldiers.

Captain Davenport, a rare black officer is sent in from DC to investigate, but his arrival brings discomfort. The black soldiers are proud to have an officer of their color, but are also unsure how to deal with him. And the whites are shocked and wary that his determined probe might disrupt the uneasy racial balance and calm that exists in town.

But as Davenport starts digging around, he uncovers facets to the murdered Sgt. Waters that complicate the case. It turns out Waters wasn’t particularly popular among his soldiers for what they perceived to be desperate attempts at whitening himself.

A Soldier’s Story features Denzel Washington in just his second film role. But personally speaking, Art Evans as Wilkie is the showstealer. He brings a tragicomic element to Wilkie that borders at times on the hilarious.
