DOUBLE VICTORY

A gripping documentary spotlighting America’s first all black aerial unit – the Tuskegee Airmen – who broke racial barriers and challenged stereotypes by serving their country in World War II.

As told by the pilots themselves, the moving nonfictional tale begins with their training in Tuskegee, Alabama and follows these unsung heroes through the Great War – where they were beset by foreign threats and domestic discrimination. While the fighters battled Nazi jets over Berlin, the pilots back home had to take on the U.S. military itself – fighting against the blatant racism of their white commanding officers. Together, the Tuskegee Airmen achieved a ‘double victory’ against fascism abroad and racism at home, foreshadowing the national civil rights movement yet to come.
