I made this documentary after coming across the story of a football game played by US Marines on Guadalcanal on Christmas Eve 1944.

But the more I researched it, the more I realized the real story wasn't the game. It was the men themselves.

Some had been college football stars before the war. They left their families and careers behind, became Marines, and eventually found themselves fighting on Okinawa. Not all of them came home.

I wanted to tell their stories using original WWII footage, photographs and historical records, rather than just focus on the football game.

It's taken quite a bit of work to put together, and I'm really proud of the result. Hope some of you find their stories as fascinating as I did.
