Heroes All, released in 1920 by the American Red Cross, examines returning wounded WWI veterans and their treatment at Walter Reed Hospital, along with visits to iconic Washington, D.C., landmarks. [1] The Red Cross Bureau of Pictures produced more than 100 films, including Heroes All, from 1917-1921, which are invaluable historical and visual records of the era with footage from World War I and its aftermath. Several Red Cross cinematographers achieved notable film careers, including Ernest Schoedsack and A. Farciot Edouart. This film was added to the National Film Registry in 2009.
