Nominated for Realscreen Awards 2025 (Non-fiction History & Biography) 

Nominated: Best New Documentary Series at the 40th Film Independent Spirit Awards 2025

​

Produced by October Films and Elba’s 22Summers, ERASED: WW2’s HEROES OF COLOR uncovers the long-lost legacies of soldiers of colour during World War II. This landmark series sheds light on the immense contributions of over 8 million individuals who fought heroically for the Allied forces, and whose stories have largely gone untold.

The four-part event weaves a blend of historical dramatisations with curated archival footage, bridging the past with the present to highlight new perspectives on established histories. Each film showcases the personal narratives of soldiers through their never-before-aired oral testimonies and journal writings, along with powerful accounts from their descendants — stories passed down the generations. These gripping and emotional testimonies transport viewers back in time to witness bravery unfold in WW2’s iconic theatres of war.
