Hollywood’s Second World War 2019

During World War II, the US government utilized a large-scale propaganda campaign to galvanize public support, with cinema serving as a crucial tool. Feature film production was monitored, and the military created documentaries to rally the nation behind the troops. This documentary explores the experiences of four Hollywood directors—William Wyler, Frank Capra, Anatole Litvak, and Billy Wilder—all of European descent. They returned to their ancestral homelands to produce propaganda films for the US Army, documenting the war firsthand.
