About the Movie Flags of Our Fathers
Clint Eastwood directed this powerful World War II drama. In 1945, American forces landed at Iwo Jima to take control of the island from entrenched, resolute Japanese defenders. Amid heavy casualties, a photo was snapped of Old Glory being raised on a hilltop. The image quickly became a symbol of hope for Americans, and a War Bond drive was built around three of the men who put that flag up. The film explores the gap between the public's perception of war and that of those who do the fighting.
