Episode Notes:

The Longest Day, Saving Private Ryan, and Pressure are three movies about D-Day that look back at that hugely historic event through various lenses and from different cultural moments. In this first in a series of episodes on war movies, Kerry talks with Sam Edwards — reader in modern political history at Loughborough University — about themes in these movies and how they reflect historical memory. Kerry and Sam also discuss what they like about the films and how visiting Normandy can change your perspective.
