In war, some battles are fought at home.

In 1944, a naïve “Rosie the Riveter” is forced to live with an unfriendly family of German-Americans. What does she do when she finds a Nazi armband?

1944 was written and produced by John Van Roekel in collaboration with James Alburger, at VoiceActing Studios, who directed the recording and edited it.
