With Hollywood movies like Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, Stephen Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, and even Clint Eastwood's Letters from Iwo Jima, documenting the horrors of World World II in pop culture over the years, we must never forget the dire impacts the war had on families around the globe.

Families like the Black family. Patty was an American teenager living in the Philippines when she was escorted out of her home and into a prison camp. They told her she would only be there for three days. She didn't experience freedom for another three years.

In this special episode of The Cinematic Schematic, Jason Black, a film critic turned filmmaker, rejoins us to discuss his debut film, Our Flag Was Still There. The film will play at this weekend's DocOKC23 as part of The OKLAHOMA Doc Shorts Block.

Tune in to hear this rare and incredible story of a POW from a female perspective, including how this event reshaped the future of the Black family.
