It is midnight on the eve of June 6, 1944. 150,000 Allied soldiers are crossing the English Channel to launch the largest overseas invasion in history. They hope to break through Hitler's "Fortress Europe" and establish a Western front. If successful, "Operation Overlord" will have a lasting impact on the course of World War II. At the center of this event is a ten-kilometer stretch of French beach codenamed "Juno Beach." By the end of the day, it will be the most successful landing of all and will go down in history as the "Allied Invasion of Normandy." A handful of young and determined soldiers risk everything on that historic day. Some will give their lives fighting for their homeland on Juno Beach, while others will tell their stories 60 years later.
"Storming Juno" offers a compelling and dramatic insight into a piece of world history about young Canadian men and their selfless commitment to freedom. It masterfully weaves real-time experiences, individual stories, and eyewitness interviews into an impressive docudrama about D-Day 1944.
