Description:

THREE TIMES DECLARED DEAD IN WWI – AND THREE TIMES HE CAME BACK. THE TRUE STORY OF AN AMERICAN MEDAL OF HONOR HERO HISTORY TRIED TO FORGET. A gripping account of a young man from a small Montenegrin village who crossed the ocean in search of freedom, carrying only his mother’s blessing and a vow to guard honor above all. In America, he found a new homeland and became James I. Mestrovitch – a man who loved his adopted country as deeply as the one in which he was born. When the Great War erupted, he was among the first to march to Europe under the American flag. On the blood-soaked fields of France, he became a symbol of courage and brotherhood. Soldiers, officers, even entire regiments spoke of his deeds, turning his bravery into stories and battlefield performances that boosted morale. Wounded and unable to lift a rifle, he fought on with the only weapon he could still raise – a pistol. For his extraordinary valor, the United States Congress posthumously awarded him the Medal of Honor, placing him among the nation’s immortal heroes and forever inscribing his name in American history. Based on extensive historical research, archival materials, and documented military records, this documentary narrative reconstructs the life of Sergeant James I. Mestrovitch — one of the most extraordinary yet forgotten heroes of World War I. He's Alive! – a documentary work that brings an American hero back among the living. Duration - 5h 19m.
