SYNOPSIS

The Letter Men is based on the real love letters written by Gordon Bowsher to his sweetheart, Gilbert Bradley. Their love letters were exchanged between the years of 1938 and 1941 and uncovered in 2015. Using the actual text of the letters, The Letter Men transports us directly into the places of the letters and their heart--battlefields, air raid shelters, and lost, golden moments.
