Netflix continues to preview new and upcoming Netflix Originals productions today with an all-star documentary. In Five Came Back, five modern masters of cinema: Steven Spielberg, Guillermo del Toro, Lawrence Kasdan, Paul Greengrass, and Francis Ford Coppola, come together to look at how five filmmakers during World War II changed the way we look at war, and showed sacrifice from the top of Hollywood in trying to document the horrors of the 1940s.
Narrated by Meryl Streep, Five Came Back interviews the five filmmakers while showing how John Ford, William Wyler, John Huston, Frank Capra, and George Stevens left their careers to serve in WWII and told stories of the war upon their return. It’s a three-episode documentary and launches on March 31.
