About Conflicted

Every episode is a meticulously researched exploration of significant historical events, shedding light on the narratives that have shaped our societies and our understanding of the world. These conflicts, whether they be wars, revolutions, ideological clashes, or social upheavals, are more than just footnotes in history; they are the crucibles in which humanity's values, beliefs, and ethics have been tested.

Jump right in with “Hiroo Onoda & The Surrender of Japan.” This signature episode tells the tale of a Japanese soldier who emerged from the Philippine jungle, unaware that World War 2 had been over for nearly 30 years. His story is interwoven with the transformation of Japan after submitting to defeat at the hands of Allied troops. This story closely investigates where loss wanes and hope intervenes.
