They Filmed the War in Color: The Pacific War [DVD]

For years the world has watched films of World War II in black and white. Now for the first time, follow alongside those who experienced the war first hand in this remarkable and moving portrait revealing never-before-seen footage shot in full color. On December 7, 1941, Japan launched its attack on Pearl Harbor resulting in the United States being thrust full force into World War II ? turning it into a truly global conflict. American Marines and many of the great filmmakers of the day captured color footage of the events as they unfolded ? the Coral Sea in flames; Guadalcanal littered with corpses; rarely seen images of the deportation of U.S. citizens of Japanese descent and much more.
