Description

Gene Moran's incredible fall from 4 miles in the air is a story that has been locked away for nearly 70 years. Now, his son John, a young history teacher, is desperate to learn more about his father's harrowing experiences during World War II.

As John conducts a series of "Thursdays with Gene" interviews, Gene recounts his survival of a six-hundred-mile death march in 1945, his time as a prisoner of war, and the trauma that has haunted him ever since. Meanwhile, John faces his own personal struggle as his wife fights brain cancer and their two young children cope with the uncertainty of their future.

This is a story of two men's separate journeys confronting trauma and loss, and the resilience and hope that can be found in the face of adversity. Tailspin is a powerful and moving tale of survival, loss, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
