What is War Horse about?
In 1914, Joey, a young farm horse, is sold to the army and thrust into the midst of World War I on the Western Front. Through his eyes, we witness the devastation of battle, the bonds of friendship, and the resilience of the human spirit. Joey's journey from the peaceful countryside to the horrors of war highlights the unbreakable connection between a boy and his horse, and the enduring hope that guides them through the darkest times.
