So, December 7th / The Fleet That Came To Stay is this intriguing doc that digs deep into the events surrounding Pearl Harbor. Ulanoff’s presence is really engaging, he’s got that authoritative vibe, but also a kind of warmth that makes history feel personal. The pacing feels deliberate, taking time to explore the weight of that fateful morning and the subsequent military response. The use of archival footage is pretty effective, it gives a rawness to the whole thing, unlike the gloss you sometimes see in modern docs. Themes of sacrifice and valor come through strongly. There’s a certain gravity in how this film presents the chaos and the human element of war, which honestly makes it stand apart from other war documentaries.
