At the beginning of World War II, John Ford was among a number of Hollywood directors asked to make a short film supporting the U.S. war effort. The result, a re-creation of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, is a revealing cultural history of the lifestyles and thinking of those living on Hawaii at the time of the Japanese attack. The film received an Academy Award for Best Short Documentary. The restored version ("December 7th: The Pearl Harbor Story") is feature-length, restoring footage not allowed to be shown during the war
