Until They Are Home (2012)

Immersively directed by the dynamic duo of Matthew Hausle and Steve C. Barber, and delicately produced by Matthew Hausle and Tamara Henry, "Until They Are Home" is a poignant tribute to the unsung heroes of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC). This riveting documentary shatters the veil of obscurity surrounding these devoted team members, casting them in the deserving light of recognition for their unceasing dedication. In 2010, these young soldiers, filled with a sense of profound duty, returned to the haunting site of one of World War II's most gruesome battles. Their daunting mission was not to wage war, but to bring back their fallen brethren, heroes who had paid the ultimate price in the name of freedom. Their quest took them to the blood-soaked sands of the island of Tarawa, where they embarked on a poignant journey of remembrance and honor. Their painstaking efforts bore fruit when, after 69 long years, they recovered the remains of several U.S. servicemen. These heroes, lost but never forgotten, were finally flown back to their homeland, their final resting place. This act of profound reverence and respect provided a semblance of closure for a nation still feeling the echoes of a war fought generations ago. But the mission of the JPAC teams doesn't end there. With over a dozen such teams traversing the globe, their ceaseless pursuit of honor and closure continues. "Until They Are Home" offers an intimate, heart-wrenching glimpse into one of these significant missions, highlighting the depth of commitment, respect, and love that fuels these journeys. This film is a stirring testament to those who fight not on the battlefield, but in the quiet shadows of history, ensuring that no hero is ever left behind.
