HISTORY TOLD BY THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED IT
 
We have captured 19 personal stories of World War II Veterans.
Three of them have been made into award winning documentary shorts
that we have shared with audiences all over the world.
But, this is only a drop in the bucket. We want - we NEED
to do so much more!

With these documentaries we hope to continue capturing the personal stories of the men and women who so bravely fought for our freedom over 70 years ago. We are losing our World War II veterans at a rate of over 550 a day, and with them will go their extraordinary accounts and our ability to share them with future generations.

Our films attempt to touch on the subject of what it must have felt like to be at war, to be away from home for the first time, to be truly frightened of what the future might hold, and yet still have the courage to do whatever it took to win.  
In these documentaries there is no narrator, no interviewer, you are hearing History told by a person who actually lived it, put to archival footage and music.  Most people have seen the stories of the big battles, the big planes, ships and bombs.

But, what of the ordinary men and women who were doing their part in the midst of it all?

Over the past 10 years those stories that we have been able to capture, have won over 20 awards at Film Festivals across the country and abroad. 
Each Veteran has given us so much of who they are and what happened, and we feel extremely lucky to have gotten the opportunity to spend time with these exceptional men and women. Click on the photos or the "Veterans" button above

This project is a “Thank You” to the men and women who fight and work and sacrifice so that we can live free and safe.
