For the USA, World War 2 was an all-out war - to mobilize the masses, the US government launched a huge propaganda campaign and cinema, the medium of the masses, was quite simply their most important weapon. Government authorities monitored the production of feature films and the military itself produced documentaries aimed at rallying the American people to support the troops. This film tells the story of four Hollywood directors of European origin, who returned to the "Old World" during the Second World War to make propaganda documentaries for the US Army at the front: William Wyler from Alsace, Frank Capra from Italy, Anatole Litvak from Ukraine and - in post-war Germany - Billy Wilder from Austria.

Two years later the Academy began bestowing awards, which were nicknamed "Oscar," and quickly came to represent the pinnacle of cinematic achievement.

A "know-your-enemy" propaganda film similar to "Know Your Enemy: Japan" and "My Japan", films about Japan with the same objective. It contains a history of the prelude to WW II, the death camps and other Nazi war crimes, and commentary on the character of the German people. Directed by Frank Capra, this film is in essentially the same format as his "Why We Fight" series. It was intended to be shown to American troops participating in the invasion and occupation of Germany. But by the time it was ready, events had overtaken it -- Germany was already well on its way to falling -- so the film was shelved. Although it is readily available for public-domain viewing on the Internet, it has never been widely distributed or shown.

Embora a Batalha da Inglaterra tenha sido relativamente curta - 20 semanas - para os pilotos parecia não ter fim, a simples luta pela sobrevivência impelia os dois lados. A Batalha da Inglaterra não terminou simplesmente, cessou depois que o outono forçou Hitler a abandonar a operação Seelöwe (Leão Marinho), seu plano de invasão ao Reino Unido. Somente quando o inverno se aproximou, os ingleses se deram conta de que haviam sobrevivido à batalha. Com a queda da Noruega, Dinamarca e França, em junho de 1940, a Luftwaffe ganhou importantes bases aéreas para se lançar no maior combate aéreo da história. A vitória parecia possível partindo da costa francesa pelo Canal da Mancha. As forças aéreas alemãs tornaram-se invencíveis desde a conquista da Polônia e da França; além disso, tinham o avião Messerschmitt Bf 109E, um dos mais formidáveis caças do mundo, tinham ótimos pilotos, comandados por ases da I Guerra Mundial.

Após a queda de um avião no Himalaia, grupo de pessoas acaba por encontrar uma cidade perdida. O lugar é o paraíso, Shangri-La, onde eles encontram um enorme contraste com a vida urbana que levam.
Uma revolução eclodiu na China e o diplomata Robert Conway (Ronald Colman) é forçado a fugir com outros quatro americanos. Mas o avião deles é sequestrado e acabam indo parar no Tibet, precisamente numa comunidade utópica em que seus membros parecem não envelhecer.
A obra-prima original, de Frank Capra tinha duração de 132 minutos na época de seu lançamento, em 1937. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, uma nova edição, com 24 minutos a menos, atenuou a mensagem pacifista do filme. Num trabalho de mais de 25 anos para restaurar o filme, foram utilizadas cenas encontradas em várias partes do mundo. Com uma ótima direção de arte, o destaque fica para os cenários de Shangri-la que são considerados os maiores já construídos em Hollywood.

“The Fallbrook Story,” is a 20-minute film of Cold War-era uneasiness in which director Frank Capra rails against what he calls the evils of Big Bureaucracy. In 1951, Capra lived in Fallbrook, California on his 1,000-acre Red Mountain Ranch farm filled with olive groves. The federal government, which had purchased the old Rancho Santa Margarita land in 1941 to build Camp Pendleton, was concerned that ranchers upstream would take or pollute the Santa Margarita River, which ran through Camp Pendleton. Capra’s film documents how Fallbrook residents fought back against the federal government.
