Why We Fight (1942)
Not Rated 27 May 1942 • Documentary, War • 0h 52m
This famous propaganda piece, used as a U.S. Army training film in WWII before theatrical release, asks 'why we fight.' The answer compares the 'free' and 'slave' worlds.

Walter Huston narrates a combination of archival footage, maps, and other graphics.
