Film depicts remarkable life of 100-year-old local WWII veteran
The story of one of central Alberta’s oldest living war veterans will soon be shared on the silver screen.
Joseph Young, who is 100, was among the roughly 14,000 Canadian soldiers who landed on Juno Beach in Normandy, France on D-Day – June 6, 1944.
The remarkable life story of the Joffre area man will now be told in an upcoming film titled Poetry, War and the Dance of Life – a 30-minute documentary currently under production by Red Deer-based Whole Village Moving Pictures Ltd.
Director and co-producer Randy Kirk says the project is being developed with the assistance of a $50,000 grant from Telus STORYHIVE.
