Flags of Our Fathers (2006) with Rhys Edwards

The right picture can win or lose a war, and they don’t come more iconic than the image of US Marines raising the American flag atop a mountain in Iwo Jima. But the story behind an image isn't always so red, white and blue, as shown in Clint Eastwood’s sombre World War Two drama FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS. There is plenty to dive into and explore in both the film itself and the real history of the men who were - or perhaps weren’t - in the iconic image. To help us examine that iconography, we welcome back returning guest Rhys Edwards. Join us as we explore what is a more unconventional war film than its surface may suggest.
