"My job was to kill
Japanese, and that's what I did."
Bill Jones and Andy Petrus are the two toughest 85-year-olds you've
ever met.
Together, these life-long friends fought 3,000 Japanese in a secret Alaskan invasion
during World War II. Now, 60 years later, these two forgotten heroes embark on
an intense and emotional journey back to the remote Aleutian island of Attu,
where they relive the brutal 19-day battle that the American government kept
secret.
As Bill and Andy retrace their steps over this desolate, untouched battlefield
-- a living museum littered with crashed airplanes, collapsing buildings, and
unexploded bombs -- the line between past and present begins to blur and long-forgotten
memories resurface with moving force.
Red White Black & Blue isn’t just one soldier’s
story -- it is the story of every solider who faces an enemy he does
not understand and returns home with scars that are slow to heal.
Walk through one of the bloodiest battles of World War II with
the soldiers who lived it. Through their eyes you'll experience
the complicated, and
sometimes contradictory, mindset of a nation at war and what it
really means to be an American hero.
Red White Black & Blue is the first feature-length
documentary to tell the story of the Battle of Attu, one of the bloodiest
battles of World War II and the only invasion of the United States
since the War of 1812. |
