Idris Elba is putting a spotlight on WWII soldiers of color.
Elba's latest project is National Geographic's documentary special 'Erased: WW2's Heroes of Color,' a four-part series which Elba serves as executive producer and narrator, unearthing the unsung stories of people of color who served during the 2nd World War.
The series weaves a blend of historical dramatizations with curated archival footage and powerful accounts from the veterans' descendants.
