Our students worked with the World War II Foundation in Italy on three documentaries, one on the famed Tuskegee Airmen (narrated by Darius Rucker); another focused on the WWII story of late Senator Bob Dole (told by Jim Nantz); and a third film that will share the story of the long and brutal fight the Allies had in Italy during World War II. The students worked directly with the film crew on the trip and received professional film credits as production assistants that air globally on American Public Television/PBS.
Documentaries:
The Tuskegee Airmen: Return to Ramitelli (2023)
Bob Dole, Italy and World War II (2023)
Film #3 TBA
