Together, these life-long friends fought against 3000 Japanese soldiers in a secret Alaskan invasion during World War II. Now, 60 years later, these two forgotten heroes embark on an intense and emotional journey back to the remote Aleutian island of Attu, where they relive the brutal 19-day battle that America was never told about. The desolate, wind-swept island is not only one of the most dangerous places in the world, but also a living museum littered with crashed airplanes, unexploded bombs, and collapsed buildings from the war. As Bill and Andy retrace their steps over this untouched battlefield, the line between past and present begins to blur and long-forgotten memories resurface with moving force. Through intimate interviews with Bill and Andy, the film explores what it means to be a soldier then and now. And for Bill, that means continuing the battle—even at the cost of his own peace of mind.Thu, 23 Apr 2009 00:10:20 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/independent-lens/h0bwDcPSfByj2cJcn1X-_EvZwTU#s8e4A tribute to the three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist and his half-century career.Tue, 07 Nov 2006 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/independent-lens/h0bwDcPSfByj2cJcn1X-_EvZwTU#s8e3Czech animator Paul Fierlinger’s playful and personal ode to the power of man’s best friend.Tue, 24 Oct 2006 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/independent-lens/1ynq_jjpySmPpeReFfIYjC2amOU#s7e16Oakley Hall was a brilliant, magnetic playwright when his life was violently transformed by a fall.Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0000http://tv.blinkx.com/show/independent-lens/1ynq_jjpySmPpeReFfIYjC2amOU#s7e8Seoul Train” movingly examines the plight of North Koreans who flee in hopes of a better life elsewhere, despite the possibility of forced return if they're caught living in China.
