The Road To Victory
by Gerald Noxon
The Road To Victory is a documentary-drama that reviews the events of World War II, focusing on its battles, heroes, and the political and military strategies on the final day of actual combat in Europe. This poignant piece captures the essence of VE-Day, May 8, 1945, a day of celebration for the Allied forces' triumph over Nazi Germany.
While joy filled the air with the news of peace, it was also a day marked by the memory of fallen comrades and the ongoing conflict in the Pacific. Canadians at home and abroad celebrated the end of the Second World War, reflecting on the sacrifices made by over one million Canadians who served during the nearly 5.5 years of war.
Produced and directed by Andrew Allan, with music composed and conducted by Lucio Agostini, this program features a talented cast including John Drainie, Lorne Greene, and Alan King.
