The Last Full Measure

2020 · 116 min

A solemn, heartfelt tribute that moves between battlefield sacrifice and bureaucratic struggle, leaving you moved and reflective.

Tagline: The ultimate sacrifice deserves the highest honor.
Overview: The incredible true story of Vietnam War hero William H. Pitsenbarger, a U.S. Air Force Pararescuemen medic who personally saved over sixty men. Thirty-two years later, Pentagon staffer Scott Huffman investigates a Congressional Medal of Honor request for Pitsenbarger and uncovers a high-level conspiracy behind the decades-long denial of the medal, prompting Huffman to put his own career on the line to seek justice for the fallen airman.
