The story of Chicago's engagement in the war effort during World War II.
At the beginning of America's engagement in World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt called on the country to become "an arsenal of democracy" - major producers of war materiel to help defeat the Axis powers. This new film explores how the Windy City answered that call, and how a mutually beneficial relationship between FDR and Chicago mayor Ed Kelly (the original "big city boss") developed.
