Films

The Foundation has collaborated in the production of several Medal of Honor documentaries and programs over the last several years.   

Feats of Valor (Documentary)

In 2009, Discovery Communications commissioned Creative Street Media Group to produce a documentary for the Discovery Military Channel. The documentary Feats of Valor featured the stories of three Medal of Honor recipients: Hershel “Woody” Williams (WWII); Tibor “Ted” Rubin (Korea); and Sammy Davis (Vietnam).   

Medal of Honor DVD (PBS Documentary)

In November 2008, Florentine Films, Ken Burns executive producer and Roger Sherman producer, created the 90-minute PBS documentary, Medal of Honor, a co-production of Florentine Films/Sherman pictures, WETA Washington, DC and the Washington Post Company. Boeing provided funding. The film traced the rich history of the Medal from the Civil War when the Medal was created to the Iraq War. It includes stories of numerous Medal of Honor recipients.   

The Medal (Documentary)

In the latter half of 2007, the Foundation assisted 45 North Communications in the syndicated production of the documentary, The Medal, that premiered on television in the 2008 Memorial Day timeframe. Through original interviews with Medal of Honor recipients, beautiful cinematography, a stirring narrative and an emotional soundtrack created by Emmy Award winning composer David Barrett, The Medal brings to life some of the rich stories that define America’s highest honor as it seeks to answer the broader question of what the Medal of Honor says about us as a nation. This documentary received the Movie Guide Faith and Freedom Award as the best television documentary in 2008 and is part of the series of documentaries in The American Patriot Series.
