Today, World of Warships and FORCE BLUE released a documentary series. Frog Fathers: Lessons from the Normandy Surf and Frog Fathers 2: Last Battle of the Pacific are now available through video on demand streaming services.
First released in 2024 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, Frog Fathers: Lessons from the Normandy Surf marked a debut documentary film from World of Warships and FORCE BLUE. The film follows four Navy SEAL veterans as they travel to the beaches of Normandy to honor the fallen and understand the challenges faced by their predecessors, the Naval Combat Demolition Units, in clearing the beaches ahead of the largest amphibious assault in military history.
Exploring the Pacific Theater of the Second World War, the second film, Frog Fathers 2: Last Battle of the Pacific reflects on the Battle of Okinawa and its impact upon those who served, the island’s residents, and the island itself. The film follows a new team of veterans, spanning Navy SEALs, Marines, and a Green Beret, and features actor, conservationist and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Rudy Reyes (Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, Generation Kill). As they explore the legacy of the gruesome 82-day battle and challenges faced by the Underwater Demolition Team, these veterans also work to restore the coral reefs damaged in the landings.
“As we approach Veterans Day, it is important to reflect on the sacrifice and legacy of our forefathers,” said Rudy Reyes, U.S. Marine Veteran and FORCE BLUE co-founder. ”Working on the Frog Father films with FORCE BLUE and World of Warships has been an incredible opportunity to ensure that those who gave their lives are not forgotten, and that we can pass these stories on to future generations.”
The Frog Fathers series marks a joint production between World of Warships and FORCE BLUE, building upon a shared goal of uplifting veterans and supporting ocean conservation. Narrated by John C. McGinley (Scrubs, Platoon, Rooster), the films were developed with the support of National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum and The National WWII Museum, and feature expert military historians, including Ben Milligan and John Curatola. Frog Fathers: Lessons from the Normandy Surf and Frog Fathers 2: Last Battle of the Pacific are being distributed across the US and Canada by Level 33 Entertainment.
