A Flash of Green

After being wounded at Pearl Harbor, Charles McCandless fought in the most critical battles against Imperial Japan in World War II. Midway, Guadalcanal, Peleliu, and Iwo Jima, to name a few. Using newly-discovered National Archive footage and unique images from family scrapbooks, this film brings fresh insight and humanity to one of the most consequential military struggles in history. Based on the memoir A Flash of Green by Charles McCandless.
