PEARL HARBOR - IT'S WAR - 2 DVD Set

Battle Line: PEARL HARBOR

Battle Line: Pearl Harbor is one installment in a series of government-produced war films. Some of these films served as military education tools, while others were meant to inform the public. In this particular docudrama, Jim Bishop illustrates the horrific day that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, using narration and real wartime footage of the devastating event.

Crusade in the Pacific: PACIFIC IN ERUPTION

Crusade in the Pacific: Pacific in Eruption is one episode in a series of films that highlight the discord between the U.S. and Japan, both during World War II and also in the wake of its aftermath. Each episode takes an intimate look at a particular phase in a war that many people were staunchly opposed to—a war that saw some of the most inhumane brutality ever to occur. Pacific in Eruption focuses on the early days of the war—including the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and Japan's rapid military moves following the bombing, which resulted in their control of most of the Pacific theater.

PEARL HARBOR - DECEMBER 7th

This stirring docudrama outlines the events that occurred on the fateful day of December 7, 1941, in a powerful recreation of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. The film originally depicted the unassuming U.S. soldiers and military personnel engaging in their everyday activities at the moment of invasion. However, due to the critical portrayal of the U.S.'s failure to be prepared for an attack, December 7th was edited at the government's request. Despite this fact, the remaining documentary is a powerful illustration of this momentous day in American history—so much so that the film won an Academy Award.

RECOGNITION OF THE JAPANESE ZERO

Originally a training guide, created by the U.S. government and starring Ronald Reagan, this film was used to teach the Air Force how to spot a Japanese Zero apart from the U.S. attack plane, the P-40.
