The History Channel goes in-depth with this two-volume documentary Tora, Tora, Tora: The True Story of Pearl Harbor. December 7, 1941, was a tragic and surprising day for the United States. The attack on the Hawaiian island was a costly and sudden invitation to enter World War II. Archival footage and interviews make up the bulk of this release. Both American and Japanese remembrances are included for a complete history lesson. The series begins with the events leading up to the attack, especially concentrating on Admiral Yamamoto's detailed plans. Using personal testimony, the History Channel re-creates the frantic action on the ground as American soldiers scrambled for safety. Some, such as those aboard the U.S.S. Arizona, had no time to retaliate. The program concludes with a real-life reunion of soldiers from both sides. From inception to aftermath, Tora, Tora, Tora: The True Story of Pearl Harbor provides a thorough account of a day that will always live in the memory of a nation. ~ Sarah Ing, All Movie Guide. |
