More about Sixth of June

As America stands bitterly and terrifyingly divided, Sixth of June is an urgent call to learn from our past and unite—as humans.

Sainte-Mère-Église, France was ground zero on D-Day. For 75 years, people of diverse backgrounds, races, and faiths have gathered to commemorate those whose sacrifice changed the world. “Sixth of June” is the story of why we remember and what we lose if we forget.

Executive Produced by iconic filmmakers — Peter Berg (Lone Survivor, Friday Night Lights), Raeshem Nijhon (The Agreement, Rebel Music), Ross Kauffman (Academy Award Winning, Born into Brothels), Brandon Carroll (The Keepers), Matthew L. Goldberg (forthcoming Rihanna documentary), David Knott (The Apollo, HBO), and Zeus Kontoyannis (Mr. Sam) — Sixth of June is a story that needs to continue to be told now, more so than ever.
