Price for Peace

This compelling documentary, executive produced by Steven Spielberg and historian Stephen Ambrose, reflects on the Pacific Theater in World War II. Using archival footage to document the period between the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 to the American occupation of Japan in 1945, director James Moll provides complex portraits of the individuals involved in the war. Interview subjects include both American and Japanese veterans, like Paul Hibbets, who piloted the mission to bomb Hiroshima, as well as Japanese Americans who suffered through internment camps.
