Five Came Back

IMDb writes, "Five present-day directors discuss five wartime directors who voluntarily joined WW2 in order to film it: William Wyler (presented by Steven Spielberg), Frank Capra (Guillermo del Toro), George Stevens (Laurence Kasdan), John Ford (Paul Greengrass) and John Huston (Francis Ford Coppola). Narrated by Meryl Streep and written by Mark Harris (adapted from his 2015 book Five Came Back: A Story of Hollywood and the Second World War). Written by kiran gill". It's told in three episodes. The last one made me cry because of the Holocaust - I just can't imagine. These are some of my favorite directors and I never knew they were involved in the war. You hear about the actors, but no one else.
