The legendary battle of Iwo Jima is one of the most significant of World War II, and thus, has been immortalized in the form of a heart-wrenching statue that stands in the American capitol. But there is far more to the story of Iwo Jima than this moving image of U.S. Marines raising the flag on top of Mr. Suribachi. HEROES OF IWO JIMA explores the story behind this immortal image through historic footage and interviews with almost 50 people involved in the battle, including Joe Rosenthal, who actually photographed that image. Hosted by award-winning actor Gene Hackman, this fine documentary movingly examines a huge part of U.S history.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital Stereo - EnglishInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Scene AccessText/Photo Galleries: Additional Text - Timeline of Critical Events
