This program tells the stories of the young Navajo men recruited from harsh
government boarding schools into the Marines during World War II. From
1942-1945, the Code Talkers devised an unbreakable code in their native language
and transmitted vital messages in the midst of combat against the Japanese.
Due to the subject matter, this program contains graphic archival footage of
WWII.
