The [f500link]Netflix[/f500link] documentary Five Came Back tells the story of how five American filmmakers helped changed the way citizens saw World War II and how that experience changed the movies forever. In order to summon that tale, the film enlists five modern filmmakers, including Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Crimson Peak), who recently spoke to TIME about the role of propaganda in World War II and its lessons for today.
