Assembled from 3,000 hours of recently discovered color footage, this immersive documentary about World War II offers a vivid look at the war from both sides of the battlefield. Despite being prohibited from carrying diaries, many U.S. soldiers secretly recorded their experiences in writing and hid their journals away from the prying eyes of their superiors. By combining those journal entries with archival color footage that has been painstakingly converted to high definition, WWII in HD brings home their experiences in a way that few other films have managed to do.
