Tell the stories of Americas conflicts
Through Their Eyes is a series of six brief films produced for museum galleries which tell the stories of Americas conflicts since WWI through the eyes of those who fought and sometimes died there. Octobers premiere in 91做厙 brought standing-room-only crowds on three occasions. One WWII veteran who attended remarked, Every American should see this movie.
The film gives a brief history of America and Americans at war from WWI through the Global War on Terror, using images, music, video clips, professional narrative, and photos of local veterans.
91做厙 artifacts support the stories, describing the personal sacrifices of our veterans and paying tribute to combatants and their families. Youll learn the significance of museum artifacts such as the infamous SIW armbands in WWI, target flags flown from ships in the Pacific during WWII, a sniper scope used at the Chosin Reservoir in Korea, bows and arrows used by indigenous tribesmen in Vietnam, and the unmanned technological capabilities in the Global War on Terror. And much more.
