SYNOPSIS

“Return To Pearl”  is a feature-length documentary that follows nineteen Pearl Harbor Survivors from Wisconsin coming together one last time to visit that dreadful day they all lived through. Veterans ages 88 to 94 through the Old Glory Honor Flight North East Wisconsin Division have been given a unique opportunity to pay their respects to their fallen Shipmates, Airmen, Soldiers and Marines one last time.


The goal is to produce a documentary about these Wisconsinites as the journey back to that day that was so horrific, so emotional that some have not even traveled back since. The Interviews of these men and telling their stories, help us learn and remember about that fateful day. Some stories theses men have not even shared with their families, that are untold, the stories about men who volunteered their lives to fight for freedom, the emotion is real and you can’t help but listen. The “Return to Pearl” documentary will bring life to these stories with real footage of the attack, interviews from veterans as they return to pearl and after, all shot in high definition.

This is the first time a group of nineteen Pearl Harbor Veterans have traveled together to go back to the island and visit the places they worked, and the monuments put up in their honor. Snap 180 Media was given full access to every part of their experience. Snap 180 Media looks forward to producing this once in a lifetime event and telling the stories of these brave veterans.

FILMMAKERS’ STATEMENT

“This has been an opportunity of a lifetime for me. As an Air Force Reservist with the 4th Combat Camera Squadron, I have a passion for the brave men and women that have served before me. I feel it is our duty as citizens of America that we pay tribute to the Veterans that have fought so bravely for the country we live and work in today. The 19 men that returned to Pearl Harbor for one last time, never asked to be attacked. This is why we must never forget what sacrifices they have given us and our country, and this is why it is so important to me to tell their story.”
