S7.E8 ∙ #271 - Andrew Garfield

This documentary tells the extraordinary story of a British prisoner of war tortured by the Japanese in World War II who spent 50 years trying to locate the man who cruelly interrogated him near Thailand's infamous Kwai bridge.

A documentary about war and faith, love and loss, family myth and legacy - based on family letters from the patriarch who volunteered as a Chaplain in WWII in the Philippines, survived the Bataan Death March and died as a Japanese Prisoner of War. More poem than biopic or World War II documentary, Be Home Soon is a beautifully told and gorgeous lyrical testament which touches a universal nerve in its exploration of war and devotion - a meditation in motion on grace, memory and healing. Using letters, archival footage and stills, animation and present day footage, the film is poignant, thought-provoking and historically informative.

On June 8th, 1967 US Navy intelligence ship USS Liberty was attacked by unmarked aircraft and ships for over two hours in the deadliest attack on the US Navy since WWII, made deadlier by President Lyndon Johnson ordering the mission to rescue Liberty to be recalled. Since then, the truth about the attack has been obscured at the highest levels of the American Government. The surviving crew have been threatened, silenced, and denied VA benefits for 40 years. For the first time we present the crew of the most decorated Navy ship since WWII telling their side of the story. What really happened to the USS Liberty, and why does it matter now more than ever?
