Narrated by Jane Lynch, the documentary presents the experiences of more than two dozen women during World War II. Through accounts from members of the U.S. Women’s Army Corps and civilian witnesses to the war in Europe, the one-hour film examines women’s roles during the conflict and the ways they demonstrated patriotism, service and steadfastness during critical moments.

The film is rated PG and is made possible through the WWII Foundation. The program is free and open to the public.
