Seen through the eyes of a World War II veteran's son, a piercing look at the World War II generation and a look at today's generation.

Back in the middle of the last century, life as we now know it was nearly destroyed. It wasn't an asteroid or other natural disaster at fault. It was man himself. It was World War II. But the men and women who fought off disaster and preserved the good life we enjoy today left a remarkable and unequalled legacy. They've come to be known as The Greatest Generation. This film takes a look at the lives of a number of those great human beings.—Larry Laverty
