At a time when the world was on the brink of collapse due to World War II, a group of American soldiers and military leaders reflect on the reasons behind the conflict consuming Europe and Asia. Through stunning archival footage and incisive analysis, the story unfolds to reveal how militarism and totalitarian ideology have overshadowed peace and prosperity in the world.
The protagonists, each with their own background, share their experiences and views on the war. From recounting the historical events that led to the rise of fascism to examining their own convictions and the moral dilemma of fighting, the narrative becomes a powerful reminder of the lessons of the past. The film also addresses the role of propaganda and how it can distort reality, leading nations into a state of war.
As tension mounts, the audience is led to question the purpose of the struggle. Personal sacrifices, loss, and the quest for freedom intertwine in a tale that resonates just as much today as it did over 80 years ago. In the end, a crucial question is posed: what are we willing to do for peace? With a sober and reflective approach, this work invites contemplation on the nature of war and our collective responsibility in the pursuit of a better world.
