Saskatchewan filmmaker captures veterans’ stories before they are lost forever
Q: How did you get started in producing these veterans’ stories and what inspired you to take this on?A: “As a little guy, I’d listen to my uncle’s stories. He came back from Korea in 1952 and I grew up hearing his stories and later in life I became a filmmaker. And it was really that that inspired me and my uncle’s service was just a privilege to document. Every veteran I’ve ever documented is truly a privilege to document and to preserve their stories of service and sacrifice.
Q: You’ve interviewed over 300 veterans over the years. Can you tell us some of the personal stories that really stand out in your memory? A: “We’ve got a veteran in Saskatoon here who just hit 100 years old in August, Reg Harrison, and he was RCAF in Second World War. He did 19 flight missions, even over D-Day and he survived four crashes. They actually have a nickname for him called Crash Harrison. That gentleman really stuck with me… he actually ended up in a burn unit in Europe and survived that. He was ready to sign up for another flight, but they said four was enough.All the veterans I met in some way left their mark on me.
