"Why We Fight" is an incredible overview of the events leading up to America's involvement in World War II. Master filmmaker, Frank Capra, was commissioned by the US Army to produce this documentary series to show the soldiers what they were fighting for -- and what evils they were fighting against. With nearly seven hours of actual footage from WWII, Why We Fight adds a new dimension to the study of history -- a dimension that books and photos cannot match.
During World War Two the legendary director Frank Capra was asked by the U.S. Government to help explain its "official war policy" to the American public via a series of seven propaganda films. These films were viewed by the armed forces and were also widely shown in civilian theaters.
The completed films included the seven-episode Why We Fight series—consisting of Prelude to War (1942), The Nazis Strike (1942), The Battle of Britain (1943), Divide and Conquer (1943), The Battle of Russia (1943), The Battle of China (1944)— plus Know Your Enemy: Japan (1945), Tunisian Victory (1945), and Two Down and One to Go (1945) that do not bear the Why We Fight banner; as well as the African-American related, The Negro Soldier (1944).
