Steven Spielberg’s new documentary on WWII is set to be released on Netflix very soon.
The three-part series will focus on Hollywood’s impact on World War II, and how propaganda through cinema pushed the fight against Nazism.
The story is about the five greatest filmmakers of the forties – Frank Capra, John Ford, John Huston, George Stevens and William Wyler – and it looks at what happened when the US Armed Forces issued them with cameras during WWII.
