D-Day: The Unheard Tapes

...amoung the best. A fresh approach to the WWII documentary format. Old audio tapes are "dusted off" and "brushed up" by means of AI technology. The new enhanced audio quality is subsequently brought to life by means of actor's lip syncing the tapes. This is good work, really good. There is an element of force placed on the production, one that comes up trumps. By "being stuck with" the audio recordings they have in their possession - they have to keep the general story along a thin line. This circumstance, alongside some excellent acting, provides some of the deepest character development seen in any WWII documentary. In turn we are rewarded with one of the holy grails of documentary filmmaking - the sense of being there.

This is one of the WWII documentary "must sees" - way more for its depth than its breadth.
