Normandy Revisited
Normandy Revisited is a feature documentary that explores the untold stories of history's greatest invasion. Hear firsthand from more than a dozen veterans of the campaign, explore the sacred battlefields through intimate footage, and follow veterans on their emotional journey back to Normandy for the first time since the war. Filmmaker Benjamin Mack-Jackson spent five years gathering these compelling stories, culminating with a journey to France in June 2019. This gripping documentary, released nearly eight decades after D-Day, provides a unique inside look at the forgotten stories of the bloody battle and how the people of France still remember their liberators.
