A Front Line Portrait Of A True American Hero

G.I. Joe: Ernie Pyle celebrates the life of the nation's most beloved war correspondent. Through dramatic re-enactments, still photos, and Pyle's own moving words, a common thread of reality is woven into the fabric of the everyday man's perspective.

Interviews with former President Gerald Ford, Walter Cronkite and Andy Rooney pay tribute to a man who painted a true portrait of war from the front-line.

This film tells the story of World War II from the perspective of the G.I. in the foxhole and on the war front. Pyle's best columns - from the bombing in London (1940) to the end of the war in the Pacific (1945) - are brought to life in this riveting and engaging documentary.
