A Front Line Portrait ofia True American Hero

G.I. Joe: Ernie Pyle celebrates the life of the nation's most beloved war correspondent. Through dramatic reenactments, still photos, and Pyle's own moving words, a common thread of reality is woven into the fabric of the everyday man's perspective. Interviews with former President Gerald R. Ford, Walter Cronkite, James Whitmore and Andy Rooney pay tribute to a man who painted a true portrait of war from the frontline.

This film tells the story of World War II from the perspective of the G.I. in the foxhole and on the war front. Pyle's best columns - from the bombing in London (140) to the end of the war in the Pacific (1945) - are brought to life in this riveting and engaging documentary.
