Flags of Our Fathers is a 2006 World War II film directed by Clint Eastwood. Based on the book by James Bradley, the film follows the lives of the men who were featured in the iconic photograph of the flag raising on the island of Iwo Jima (Bradley's father was the Navy corpsman who was one of the men in the photo). In the same year that Flags of our Fathers was released, Eastwood told the story of the battle for the island from the Japanese perspective in the film Letters from Iwo Jima.
