Synopsis

Inside Buffalo is the award winning documentary that tells the story of the 92nd Buffalo division, the African American segregated combat unit that fought with outstanding heroism in Italy during the Second World War. Those who survived found that their contributions went unnoticed upon their return to the United States. These men fought two wars at the same time, one against the Nazis and the other against racial discrimination.

The film searches out little known aspects of the story including details of the friendships between African American soldiers and the Italian partisan fighters and villagers they liberated from fascist rule. The last living African American soldier awarded the highest medal of valour for his actions in WWII, Vernon Baker, recounts vividly his war time experiences and the heroism of his unit.
