Narrated by country music star Luke Bryan, the hour-long documentary SURRENDER ON THE USS MISSOURI focuses on those who witnessed the official Japanese surrender on September 2, 1945, ending World War II. Witnesses included sailors, soldiers, and marines aboard the battleship that day, plus pilots who flew over the ceremonies and those on other nearby ships. Just getting a view of the surrender signing was the goal of everyone on the USS Missouri. It was one of the most monumental days in history, and only a few remain alive who witnessed the formal surrender that morning. Through interviews with those who served on the battleship, the film follows the USS Missouri from its construction, through varied battles in the Pacific, to its final resting place as a memorial and museum in Pearl Harbor. SURRENDER ON THE USS MISSOURI features exclusive drone footage of the Missouri, plus never-before-seen photos of the surrender ceremony provided by those who were there. Pacific War historian Daniel Martinez also lends his perspective to the film.
