In 1945, just days before the end of World War II, 27-year-old fighter pilot Loren Hintz was shot down over rural Italy, leaving behind his pregnant wife and young daughter.

Directed by Pam Percy, the documentary Finding Loren follows the sweeping trajectory of Hintz’s life, and the decades-long effort led by his grandson, Hans Wronka, to recover his remains and have them laid to rest.
