A Journey Through
Forgotten History

Each story is a moment. Each project is a step toward restoring what was lost.

Project Overview

Valor at New Market Heights is a feature-length documentary that tells the story of Black Union soldiers of the United States Colored Troops who fought in a decisive Civil War battle outside Richmond in 1864. Their bravery helped shape the outcome of the war and redefine American citizenship—yet their story remains largely unknown.

Why This Story Matters

Fourteen Medals of Honor were awarded to Black soldiers at the Battle of New Market Heights—the highest concentration in any single Civil War engagement. Yet this extraordinary act of courage remains largely absent from textbooks and public memory.

A Unique Storytelling Approach

Authenticity is at the heart of every story we tell. Our productions are built upon rigorous historical research, primary source materials, respected scholarship, and the lived experiences of military veterans and subject-matter experts. By combining compelling documentary storytelling with thoughtfully crafted dramatic recreations, we create immersive experiences that educate, inspire, and resonate with audiences.

We collaborate with distinguished historians, educators, battlefield preservationists, community leaders, and descendants of those whose stories deserve to be remembered. Our creative team also works alongside accomplished military leaders and performers whose firsthand experience brings depth, credibility, and authenticity to every production. This commitment ensures that each project honors the people, places, and events that have shaped our shared history while engaging modern audiences through powerful cinematic storytelling.
