About the Program
The Eyes of the World is a moving tribute to the heroes of World War II. It follows the journeys of Ernest Hemingway, LIFE magazine photographer Robert Capa, Vogue model-turned-photojournalist Lee Miller, and J.D. Salinger, who land on the beaches of Normandy and fight to survive while documenting one of the most pivotal moments in history.
As they navigate through the final months of WWII, the program weaves their stories with the liberation of Paris, the Battle of the Bulge, the Hürtgen Forest, and the horrors of concentration camps. This mix of breathtaking history and stirring music brings the emotion and heroism of the era to life. While this program tells the story of WWII, it salutes all veterans and their families, who have sacrificed for our country.
