The wartime contributions of five prominent Hollywood film directors during World War II are profiled.
Excellent series, a little slow in the beginning, but stick with it. On Netfix streaming.The five directors were, Frank Capra, George Stevens, John Ford, John Huston, and William Wyler, all of which have been among the most highly regarded and influential directors, in the history of filming.
Steven Spielberg (who's production company - Amblin TV) also produced it, on NPR's "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross and David Bianculli.

Other reviews: Talk about the greatest generation, I can not recall
being so moved by their stories of their participation in WWII, since
the last time I watched one of their fine films. I have so much more
appreciation of those films, knowing now what I have learned from this series!
Thank you Mr. Spielberg, for bringing this to the world, in your ongoing efforts to tell the story of how this war has changed the course of human history. My hope is that this documentary, now available on Netflix, will be viewed by millions, and help to remind us, and inform others, of what America was once all about. I really think that this important and Oscar-worthy series, should be required viewing in our educational institutions.
