Documentary project - A Day in the Life of America's Veterans 11.11.11
The goal is to produce a "day in the life" exploration of Veterans Day 2011, finding and incorporating the most compelling stories about veterans into a unique presentation about the experience of men and women who have devoted a portion of their lives to serve their country in times of both war and peace.
Still and video photojournalists are being asked to contribute story ideas for consideration…parades, funerals, trips to VA hospitals, veterans who served together meeting for the first time in decades…the possibilities range from daily coverage to feature stories, as long as the stories occur on 11.11.11. This not-for-profit documentary has been partially funded by the Tawani Foundation. We are exploring additional avenues for funding and in-kind services as well as opportunities for broadcast and distribution.
