One of the few documentaries to explore the stories of Jewish-American World War Two veterans, this film focuses on six Philadelphia men in their 80’s, and their individual experiences during the war and a bittersweet reunion they share in their old age. With an exquisite collection of archival footage, this film characterizes the very personal implications fighting in WWII held for many Jewish-American men.
