## Resource

Tom Hanks is launching a sweeping 20-part WWII documentary series for the History Channel, premiering on Memorial Day — a deeply personal project born from decades of fascination with the war’s moral complexities and enduring relevance. Drawing on his cinematic legacy and collaboration with historian Jon Meacham, the series will chronicle the entire conflict, from 1939 to 1945, exploring themes of freedom, ideology, and the echoes of racial and theological superiority still present today. Hanks, inspired by childhood memories and relentless curiosity, insists this isn’t his final word on WWII — every new discovery fuels his next project.
