Their innocence. Their heritage. Their lives.

Glory, directed by Edward Zwick, centres on Colonel Robert Gould Shaw (Matthew Broderick) who commands the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, the Union Army’s first all-black regiment during the Civil War. Shaw navigates the dual challenge of racial prejudice from both his own forces and the Confederate enemy, highlighting the complex racial dynamics and personal sacrifices inherent in the struggle for equal rights and recognition on the battlefield.
