The untold true story of America’s most-beloved actor and the iconic role that saved him, focuses on the most transformative season in Jimmy Stewart’s life—from winning the Academy Award® for Best Actor in The Philadelphia Story to enlisting and becoming a combat pilot in the U.S. Army Air Corps at the beginning of World War II. He flew twenty missions over Europe, rising to the rank of colonel by the end of the war, only to return home broken and disheartened. Then George Bailey and It’s a Wonderful Life came calling.
A Q&A with stars KJ Apa, Max Casella, Jen Lilley, director Aaron Burns and producer Angela Galgani Sullivan follows the film.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Vet Tix.
