The Search: Decoding John Ford | The Plot Thickens (S5 E4)
Episode 4 – The Search
This week, Ben traces the mystery of John Ford’s missing D-Day documentary. The one time Ford talked about it, he claimed it was buried in a government film vault, too disturbing for public view. This sends Ben on a globe-trotting journey, following clues in the US, England and Russia. He encounters fellow seekers, as well as skeptics who question whether the footage was lost in battle… or if Ford made the whole thing up. But when new evidence comes to light, Ben’s quest takes him to an unexpected final stop, where new revelations await.
