On the Pacific island of Guadalcanal in 1942, the famed 1st Marine Division - the oldest, largest and most decorated division of the U.S. Marine Corps - defeated Japanese forces in a turning point of WWII. 1ST TO FIGHT: PACIFIC WAR MARINES, narrated by actor Jon Seda (HBO's The Pacific and NBC's Chicago P.D.), documents the experiences of 1st Marine Division veterans who took part in the historic fight.
A "then and now" look at the Japanese island at the heart of a brutal World War II battle, A FINAL LANDING ON IWO JIMA follows two men as they visit the historic war site. One is a 100-year-old veteran of the 4th Marine Division who returns to Iwo Jima for the final time after being wounded there in the savage battle decades earlier. The other is the son of a marine who has spent decades searching for details of his father's time on the island with little luck. He finally visits Iwo Jima to piece his dad's wartime puzzle together. Narrated by sportscaster Jim Nantz, the film details events leading up to, through and after the Battle of Iwo Jima via veteran interviews, archival material and recreations.
Narrated by CBS Sports' Jim Nantz, THE SEABEES ON IWO JIMA focuses on the story of the United States Naval Construction Battalions of World War II. The "Seabees," some of whom were in their 60s, were recruited from the construction trades to join special battalions that built the airfields and bases needed to stage a successful war effort. Best known for their work building runways out of jungles on the coral islands in the Pacific, these construction battalions helped the United States take the war to Japan's doorstep in 1945. The "Seabees" not only built the infrastructure for the Allied war effort in Europe and the Pacific, but also often had to put down their shovels to pick up rifles and fend off enemy attacks. Their most critical and violent fight was on Iwo Jima, where they went ashore in the first wave with the Marines. It's on Iwo Jima where their "We Build, We Fight" motto was most famously put to the test.
Narrated by country music star Luke Bryan, the hour-long documentary SURRENDER ON THE USS MISSOURI focuses on those who witnessed the official Japanese surrender on September 2, 1945, ending World War II. Witnesses included sailors, soldiers, and marines aboard the battleship that day, plus pilots who flew over the ceremonies and those on other nearby ships. Just getting a view of the surrender signing was the goal of everyone on the USS Missouri. It was one of the most monumental days in history, and only a few remain alive who witnessed the formal surrender that morning. Through interviews with those who served on the battleship, the film follows the USS Missouri from its construction, through varied battles in the Pacific, to its final resting place as a memorial and museum in Pearl Harbor. SURRENDER ON THE USS MISSOURI features exclusive drone footage of the Missouri, plus never-before-seen photos of the surrender ceremony provided by those who were there. Pacific War historian Daniel Martinez also lends his perspective to the film.
