Date: 2010.05
Director: Elliot Berlin & Joe Fab
Genre: Documentary
Plot: Like the young men in many small American towns during and after the
Great Depression, the boys of Bedford, Virginia, joined their local
National Guard unit. They were paid one dollar for every weekend training
session - a lot of money in 1941 - and they were given a snazzy uniform
to wear that pleased the ladies. Not a bad deal. What they couldn't have
foreseen was that Japan would attack Pearl Harbor and draw the United States
and their little Guard unit - into a war that everyone hoped would end all
wars. In no time at all, these fresh-faced soldiers were torn from the arms
of their girlfriends and new wives and found themselves in training camps
learning to fight for their country. Eventually these boys who had not yet
seen a minute of battle would become the first to hit the beaches of Normandy
on what we now know as D-Day. An ocean away, their families gathered around
radios listening for news. Eventually a wave of telegrams arrived informing
Bedford how great a sacrifice it had made: on June 6, 1942, that small
community lost more men per capita than any other in America. But Bedford's
service to the nation continues. In 2004, for the first time since World War II
that same National Guard unit was called up again, this time to serve in Afghanistan.
Soon after it went to Iraq. In BEDFORD: THE TOWN THEY LEFT BEHIND, The Johnson Group
producers of the acclaimed award-winning documentary PAPER CLIPS, presents a moving
cross-generational story of innocence and bravery, of love and loss, of duty
honor and the costs of war.
