Reunion

Reunion captures a significant historical moment with live footage documenting the aftermath of World War II. This film provides a rare glimpse into the transport and lodging processes of prisoners of war and other deported individuals as they were returned to their home countries.

The documentary, produced by the Office of War Information, Ministère des Prisonniers de Guerre et des Déportés, and the U.S. Army Signal Corps, highlights the complexities involved in repatriation after the war. It serves as an essential record of the challenges faced during this transitional period.

Collectors of historical documentaries and World War II content may find Reunion particularly relevant due to its unique perspective on the aftermath of the conflict. The film’s runtime is 32 minutes, and it is notable that a 45-minute 35mm print also exists, which was shown at Cinémathèque française in 2023.
