...Is about taking a restored Huey across America to land in backyards and farmyards, at memorials and reunions, in parking lots and feedlots to film people affected by Vietnam, who they are, who they've become... ...Is about watching their home movies of combat, looking at photos of their youth, hearing the songs they sang in the face of death. Feeling what they felt. Trying to learn what they know... ...Is about bringing Veterans and non-Veterans together in new ways and new places, paying tribute to those who were patriots when it wasn't popular to do so... ...Is more than a film... ...IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLADE will be an experience for thousands of people who encounter the Huey in its flight, which will be tracked on the In the Shadow of the Blade website and promoted through local and national media informed of flight progress and invited to Landing Zones. Vietnam Veteran organizations will inform their members of the Huey's movement across the country and thousands of them will bring their families and friends...to show them, to tell them about it, to offer a salute as it flies on its way. |
