Biography Story: Arizona, 1944. Elinor Powell, a Black Army nurse, is assigned to care for Nazi prisoners—a job deemed too good for her to do for white American soldiers. Frederick Albert, a German POW and jazz-loving artist, sees her across the mess hall and declares, "I'm the man who's going to marry you." Against military law, Jim Crow racism, and two nations at war, they fall in love. Their forbidden romance would cost them everything—and prove that love can survive even the cruelest divides.
