It seems almost unthinkable at this time, but in the midst of World War II, five Hollywood filmmakers enlisted in armed forces in order to document the war. Based on Mark Harris’s book chronicling the events, Five Came Back is a story told by the likes of Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, Guillermo del Toro, Paul Greengrass and Lawrence Kasdan. The visuals accompanying the stories are jarring. With the number of people who lived through the war dwindling, these images provide the public with a better understanding of the hell these individuals went through while fighting for their country.
