Hidden secrets launch a son's life-long quest to discover a father he never knew and uncover a gripping World War II drama with long lasting consequences for his family.

MONDAY, FEB. 16 at 9:00PM

Mysterious clues in a forbidden green box launch a son’s discovery of a father he never knew – a WWII pilot whose love and courage are woven with iconic historic events.  Based on the book THE GREEN BOX, the documentary follows Jim Kurtz to the Austrian Alps where his father’s B24 crashed along with 16 other planes and to a POW camp in Poland as Jim tries to discover who his dad was. We hear from WWII veterans who were shot down and who made the forced march across Germany, and we hear about their sacrifices and examine the effects of PTSD on combat veterans. Martin Sheen narrates.
