Five Came Back: Hollywood Filmmakers and World War II

War Documentary hosted by Meryl Streep, published by Netflix in 2017 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

The extraordinary wartime experience of five of Hollywood's most legendary directors, all of whom put their stamp on World War II and were changed by it forever.
Here is the remarkable, untold story of how five major Hollywood directors--John Ford, George Stevens, John Huston, William Wyler, and Frank Capra--changed World War II, and how, in turn, the war changed them. In a move unheard of at the time, the U.S. government farmed out its war propaganda effort to Hollywood, allowing these directors the freedom to film in combat zones as never before. They were on the scene at almost every major moment of America's war, shaping the public's collective consciousness of what we've now come to call the good fight. The product of five years of scrupulous archival research, "Five Came Back" provides a revelatory new understanding of Hollywood's role in the war through the life and work of these five men who chose to go, and who came back.
Five acclaimed contemporary directors--Francis Ford Coppola, Guillermo del Toro,Peter Greengrass, Lawrence Kasdan and Steven Spielberg--tell the story of five legendary Hollywood filmmakers who enlisted in the armed forces to document World War II.
Accompanying contemporary commentaries the story is told through the interwoven experiences of five legendary filmmakers who went to war to serve their country and bring the truth to the American people: John Ford, William Wyler, John Huston, Frank Capra, and George Stevens.
Based on Mark Harris' best-selling book, "Five Came Back: A Story of Hollywood and the Second World War."

Directed by Laurent Bouzereau ; Amblin Television, Scott Rudin, IACF Productions, Passion Pictures, Rock Paper Scissors Entertainment and Netflix Studios Production

2)  Combat Zones
Now in active service, each director learns his cinematic vision isn't always attainable within government bureaucracy and the variables of war.
In episode 2, the directors learn their vision for the films is not always permissible by the U.S. government. Wyler is shocked by the racism he encounters against African American soldiers and refused to make a film recruiting black soldiers. Meanwhile, the films' racist depiction of the Japanese versus human depiction of the Germans causes worry for the War Department, which at that time planned to redistribute the Japanese-American population from internment camps into towns across the United States.
