Who Are We?: A Festival Celebrating the Films of Ken Burns

The War is the story of the Second World War through the personal accounts of a handful of men and women from four American towns. The war touched the lives of every family on every street in every town in America and demonstrated that in extraordinary times, there are no ordinary lives.

Episode 4: Pride of Our Nation

On June 6, 1944, D-Day, 1.5 million Allied troops take part in the greatest invasion in history, but then bog down in Norman hedgerows for weeks. Saipan proves the costliest Pacific battle to date, while back home dreaded telegrams for the War Department begin arriving at an inconceivable rate.

Run time: 2 hours, 19 mins

A live discussion featuring Susan Eisenhower, Expert-in-Residence at Gettysburg College's Eisenhower Institute and Tracie Potts, Executive Director of Gettysburg College's Eisenhower Institute, will immediately follow the episode.
