FORTY-FIVE DAYS TO LEAVE. A LIFETIME TO FORGET. In the fall of 1940, the rural peace of Howell, Toonerville, and Hamburg, Missouri, was shattered by a single announcement: their homes were to become the site of the world's largest TNT plant. With the Department of War moving at a ruthless pace, families were uprooted and left adrift in the name of national security. Within a year, the soil that once held their legacies was fueling the front lines of WWII. But the end of the war didn't bring the end of their struggle. Do Our Part is the gripping true story of a community that sacrificed everything for their country-only to have to fight their own government for justice. It is a testament to faith, the pain of displacement, and a landmark Supreme Court battle that proved victory is often bittersweet.
