"Price for Peace":
Steven Spielberg, historian Stephen E Ambrose and director James Moll bring us a film with first hand accounts chronicling the unforgettable events in the Pacific Theater of World War II. From the bombing of Pearl Harbour through the American occupation of Japan in 1945, this powerful documentary depicts the strength and courage of America’s youth, while examining how these brave men and women dealt with being thrust into this tremendously brutal chapter of world history.
"Shooting War": from writer/producer/director
Richard Schickel and executive producer
Steven Spielberg come a remarkable film that takes a special look at the first war to be truly reported and recorded by one of the more unsung heroes of World War II: the combat photographer. Through the unflinching eye of their cameras’ lenses, these courageous soldiers continually risked their lives in their brave attempts to capture history. Shooting War is a compelling portrait of these men and women who have given us the iconic images that serve us the collective memories of the last Great War.
