"The lives lost were precious lives- to their county, to their loved ones, and to the men themselves."

In 1945, military officials were astounded by the battle footage captured by John Huston in his pointedly anti-war documentary short The Battle of San Pietro. Decades later, it was revealed that the real battle had occurred before the cameras even arrived. Editor Glenn Garthwaite joins us to untangle the complicated legacy of Houston's WWII film, and the rich history of those fateful filmmaking figures who went to war and came back changed.
