Description: As the most famous and certainly the most widely-praised of all WWII documentaries, the epic-length, 7-part series WHY WE FIGHT (1943-45) served one purpose and one purpose only: to effectively stir up morale and patriotism among Americans, and thus engender full, unbridled support for involvement in the Second World War. As such, the program (which evoked a tremendous public response) may have contributed significantly to the U.S. victory. It actually emerged from the combined efforts of three Hollywood legends: director Frank Capra (MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON), composer Dmitri Tiomkin (HIGH NOON), and actor-narrator Walter Huston, several years before his death in 1950 - all of who put their talents on full display here. This set from the Gaiam legends offers the whole series, with all seven installments: "Prelude to War," "The Nazis Strike," "Divide and Conquer," "The Battle of Britain," "The Battle of Russia," "The Battle of China," and "War Comes to America."
