Documentary  TV-PG

EAGLES OF MERCY (2nd Release) recounts a seldom-told chapter in the World War II narrative, picking up in the opening moments of the Allied effort to liberate Western Europe. In the early hours of June 6, 1944, two young American medics with the 101st Airborne "Screaming Eagles" parachuted into France, and soon found themselves trapped in a 12th-century Norman church in the small village of Angoville-au-Plain. Outside the church, a savage battle raged between American and German forces. Inside, medics Robert Wright and Kenneth Moore provided first aid to as many people as they could, regardless of the uniform they wore. EAGLES OF MERCY supplements these compelling stories with newsreel footage, re-enactments and interviews with fellow medics and residents of Angoville.
