The Tuskegee Airmen

The right spirit. The right attitude. The wrong color.

A historically grounded drama about African American pilots overcoming systemic racism and prejudice to prove their worth during World War II.

During the Second World War, a special project is begun by the US Army Air Corps to integrate African American pilots into the Fighter Pilot Program. Known as the "Tuskegee Airman" for the name of the airbase at which they were trained, these men were forced to constantly endure harassement, prejudice, and much behind the scenes politics until at last they were able to prove themselves in combat.
