Product Description
Produced by John Ford following the attack, this film was used as propaganda to rally Americans. The short 34-minute version was released in movie houses during the war, but this longer version was banned for 50 years. It was considered damaging to morale because it blamed the U.S. government for being unprepared for war. Received an Academy Award for best documentary film. Summary: Shows life in Hawaii before, during and after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Explains the business structure of the island. Shows sugar cane and pineapple cultivation. Shows Japanese working in the sugar cane fields, operating businesses, and attending their national schools and churches. A Shinto priest explains that Hirohito is God. Shows Japanese sending information to Japan by short wave radio and diplomatic pouch. Includes shots of Hawaiian scenery, hula dancing, and surfboard riding. Japanese observers relay intelligence to their consul in Honolulu who maintains contact with Tokyo and Berlin. The attack on island installations commences. The battleships Oklahoma, California, Pennsylvania and Nevada are bombed. The attack abates, the wounded are carried to ambulances, and funeral services are held at various sites. California, Nevada and West Virginia are salvaged. The Oahu civil defense committee sets up barbed wire, sandbags, tunnels and air raid shelters. Children are issued gas masks. Disloyal Japanese are taken into custody and a blackout engulfs the islands.
