William March/Company K  tells the story of author William March (1893-1954) and his autobiographical novel Company K (1933), considered the finest American novel about          
World War I. After volunteering for the U.S. Marines in 1917, March earned the Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross and French Croix de Guerre; but  according to critic Philip Beidler the act of writing Company K -- in effect reliving traumatic memories -- was an act of even greater courage.  Employing a Faulknerian multiplicity of viewpoints and sense of irony, Company K  is often compared to All Quiet on the Western Front  for its raw depiction of war.  William March/Company K includes scenes from the feature film Company K (2004),excerpts from other works and scenes from The Bad Seed (1956) based on March’s best-selling novel.
