BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) - A movie based on the return of a fallen Fremont County soldier will be featured at the Sundance Film Festival, which begins this week in Park City, Utah. "Taking Chance," is based on the first-person account of Lt. Col. Michael Strobl, a volunteer military escort officer who is assigned to accompany the body of 19-year-old Lance Cpl. Chance Phelps across the country to his hometown of Dubois. The movie was shot in Montana. Phelps was killed in Iraq on April 9, 2004 during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He served as the model for a veteran's memorial created by his father, sculptor John Phelps.
