POW: Passing on Wisdo – teaser – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

:30 teaser promo for P.O.W. Passing on Wisdom.

As the 50th Anniversary of the Homecoming of the Vietnam Prisoners of War approaches, the stories of those men take on new meaning and importance. Their stories of isolation and torture, of their patriotism and courage, and of the survival of those who made it home can be found in news footage, oral history, even several films. But how can these sources be brought together in new and insightful fashion to teach us the relevance of their experiences in today’s world? Further, how are their experiences relative to today’s Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy? A student of their experiences marvels at how these P.O.W. experienced greater post traumatic growth compared to post traumatic stress. P.O.W.: Passing on Wisdom answers these and other questions through the eyes of the P.O.W.’s and current Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy.

P.O.W.: Passing on Wisdom is a production of 3 Penny Films, in association with the United States Naval Academy Foundation and Finnegan’s Wake Films.

P.O.W.: Passing on Wisdom is presented nationally by Maryland Public Television through NETA.
