RED WHITE BLACK & BLUE to Premiere at Locarno International Film Festival August 4, 2006; War Documentary is the Only American Film Selected for Festival's ''Critic's Week''.

LOS ANGELES -- Walk through one of the bloodiest battles of World War II with the soldiers who lived it in RED WHITE BLACK & BLUE, which will premiere at the 59th annual Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland on August 4, 2006. The documentary will be featured as the opening film of the festival's Critic's Week section. E[acute accent]The documentary, directed by Tom Putnam, is the first film to tell the story of a secret Japanese invasion of Alaska in 1942, and the ensuing battle by American soldiers to thwart the first foreign presence on American soil since the War of 1812. Retired Army Major Bill Jones, a veteran of the 19-day battle that cost the lives of 4,000 men, returns to Attu Island to tell his story. His emotional struggle then, and 60 years later, forms the film's centerpiece. E[acute accent]"RED WHITE BLACK & BLUE captures an important, but nearly unknown, chapter of American history," said Putnam. "We hear first-hand the terrible conditions these soldiers faced, sent into battle without proper equipment and facing an enemy they didn't understand. Whether it is Attu or Iraq, we are reminded that those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." E[acute accent]At the trip's climax, Jones confronts a giant titanium monument placed by the Japanese government at the site of a particularly deadly banzai attack that Jones himself barely survived. Jones' anger over the Japanese monument, and his efforts to have it removed from the island, bring into focus the life-long scars many Attu veterans still carry from the battle. E[acute accent]RED WHITE BLACK & BLUE was produced by Michael Harbour and Jeff Malmberg of Three-Headed Monster, as well as Matt Radecki, co-director of the feature documentary TV JUNKIE, winner of the Special Jury Award at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. The film was executive produced by Steven G. Kaplan and Gregg L. Daniel of Rainstorm Entertainment, whose previous documentary F*CK will be released theatrically November 2006 by THINKFilm. E[acute accent]The Critic's Week is an independent section of the Locarno International Film Festival, one of the oldest and largest festivals in the world, and is organized by Switzerland's National Association of Film Journalists. First held in 1990, Critic's Week features documentaries selected for their expressive value.
