Cartoons Go To War(en)
This remarkable documentary dedicates itself to an extraordinary chapter of the second World War – the psychological warfare of the USA.

Out of this mixture grew a genre of its own kind – political cartoons. Insightful Interviews with the animators and producers from back then elucidate in an amusing and astonishing way under which bizarre circumstances these films partially came into existence.
