“EL DIARIO/LA PRENSA viewed excerpts of the documentary. They were powerful and moving, and promise to shift the imagination of WWII from a glorious saga to a complex reflection on that devastating period.

But more moving is the absence of Latinos in the film`s 40 testimonies. That invisibility is already generating a growing controversy among Latino historians, journalists and veterans. And rightfully so.”
