Letters From Iwo Jima

This movie tells the store of the World War II battle of Iwo Jima from the Japanese perspective, and shares letters that were found long after the soldiers were dead. You spend time with the Japanese soldiers who knowing they were fighting an impossible battle, dug trenches and caves to give them the best advantage possible. This is a great movie and your heart will break as you watch the young soldiers fight even though they know they are far outnumbered and will most likely all die. As a person who is not a historian I really felt educated by this film.
