George Stevens: D-Day to Berlin
June 20, 2005
George Stevens Jr. documentary filmmaker
Mark Feeney staff writer, Boston Globe

George Stevens Jr. introduces and discusses D-Day to Berlin, the Emmy Award winning documentary he made using color footage that his father, acclaimed director George Stevens, filmed across Europe at the end of World War II. In 1943, Stevens Sr. was assigned to follow the invasion of Normandy with the 6th Army for the purpose of recording their operations for army archives. With footage discovered only after his death, the documentary captures "home" movies of George Stevens and the crew as they followed the Allied Army across Europe.

This forum is moderated by Mark Feeney of The Boston Globe, and is the third in a series honoring America's Veterans as our nation celebrates the 60th Anniversary of the end of World War II.
