Experience one of the most remarkable true stories of World War II in this special screening of USS Indianapolis: The Legacy Project. Told entirely through the firsthand accounts of the ship's surviving crew members and their families, the documentary chronicles the USS Indianapolis's final mission—from kamikaze attacks and a top-secret wartime assignment to the devastating torpedo attack that left hundreds of sailors stranded in the Pacific Ocean for five harrowing days.
Featuring rare archival footage, previously unpublished photographs, dramatic open-ocean reenactments, and an original musical score, the film offers an intimate and deeply moving account of courage, survival, and the decades-long effort to clear Captain Charles McVay's name.
The documentary includes firsthand testimony from multiple survivors, including Benicia's own Harold Bray, the last living survivor of the USS Indianapolis, making this an unforgettable opportunity to honor an extraordinary chapter in American history.
