Synopsis by Cammila Collar
This full length documentary examines the unique role of the Aleutian Islands - a string of islands during World War II. Placed between Alaska and Siberia, where the harsh geological landscape and overall conditions have helped formulate an equally toughened and strife-filled culture, the archipelago was fortified by US forces during the conflict, and became a haven for landing Navy sea planes.
