Netflix documentary series “Five Came Back” premiered in New York. The series will be available for Netflix subscribers on March 31. “Five Came Back” is about five Hollywood directors who enlisted to document the events of World War II.
Steven Spielberg serves as executive producer and is among the five current Hollywood filmmakers who provide narration for the series.
Spielberg spoke about the incredible journey these filmmakers had to take.
“Well it’s not just filmmaking, it’s documentation of true events. And these filmmakers were storytellers and a lot of them told stories based on the imagination of writers and novels.
