Description:
“Poppy” is set on France’s western front in World War One. Two New Zealand soldiers are trapped behind enemy lines. They find a baby in a muddy ditch, under its dead parents. One of the men wants to save it – the other does not. Based on true events, “Poppy” was written by the great-grandson of one of these soldiers.
