Reconstructing for the first time an important piece of African American history and placing it within the context of Civil Rights history, Inside Buffalo, an Award-winning feature film documentary, tells the story of the 92nd Buffalo Division, the all African American segregated combat unit that fought with outstanding heroism in Italy during the Second World War, those who survived found that their contributions went unnoticed upon their return to the United States of America. The film searches out little-known aspects of the story, including details of the friendships forged between African American soldiers and the Italian partisan fighters and villagers they liberated from fascist rule. The last living African-American soldier awarded the Congressional medal of Honor in WWII, Vernon Baker, recounts vividly his war-time experiences and the heroism of his unit. Courtesy appearance by President Barack Obama!
