DESCRIPTION:
(from National Geographic Content's press release, April 2024) Produced by October Films and Elba's 22Summers, ERASED: WW2'S HEROES OF COLOR uncovers the long-lost legacies of soldiers of color during World War II. This landmark series sheds light on the immense contributions of over eight million individuals who fought heroically for the Allied forces and whose stories have largely gone untold. The four-part series weaves a blend of historical dramatizations with curated archival footage, bridging the past with the present to highlight new perspectives on established histories. The series showcases the personal narratives of soldiers through their never-before-aired oral testimonies and journal writings, along with powerful accounts from their descendants - stories passed down the generations. These gripping and emotional testimonies transport viewers back in time to witness bravery unfold in WW2's iconic theatres of war. |
