Since 1935, the National Archives has been responsible for the acquisition, preservation, and public dissemination of the permanent records of the United States government. A series of seven government films, produced to advance the war effort, have been culled from the millions of pieces making up the National Archives' popular holdings and assembled to produce Why We Fight, a cinematic recounting of the ideologies and the aftermath of the Axis aggression that resulted in World War Two.

Highlights international events leading to U.S. involvement in World War II. Includes footage of Edward R. Murrow reporting during a London air raid, President Roosevelt urging Congress to amend U.S. neutrality laws, and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
