‘Devotion’ Trailer – An Epic Story of Heroism, Brotherhood, and Sacrifice
The first Devotion trailer shows the start of an incredible friendship and some well rendered Vought F4U-4 Corsairs.
Devotion is based on the historical novel by Adam Makos. It tells the story of Lieutenant Tom Hudner and Ensign Jesse Brown (the Navy’s first Black carrier pilot). The pair are one of the Navy’s most well known aviator duos. The two flew over twenty combat missions in support of ground troops during the Korean War. In defense of a country that was still segregated.
Devotion Trailer
The first Devotion trailer shows the dangers these pilots faced, as well as their personal struggles in the service and at home.
The story of these two airmen is one that should be told. All I ask is that this not be a white savior story. Brown was an extraordinary pilot and while his friendship with Hudner was important and they relied on one another – Hudner did not make Brown who he was. This is a story of friendship and respect forged out of differences.
