  • "Day Under Fire: Civil War" on National Geographic Channel

    For those interested,

    As few of us here on the A.C. worked on a pilot episode of the "Day Under Fire" series for the National Geographic Channel back in May-June 2007. Wide Awake Films shot the footage and coordinated the re-enactments using the Viper Filmstream High Definition camera for these Kurtis Productions shows.

    The Civil War episode will air Sunday April 27 at 5:00pm EST.

    Follows four Union soldiers into the line of fire as they fight not only the enemy but also raging forest fires and nearly mortal wounds to survive the first day of a bloody campaign in the last year of the Civil War.


    Now, back to research paper-writing! :angry_smi

      Hi Jason

      Thanks for the heads-up. Unfortunately I don't get the NG Channel, but it looks really good - especially the HD pictures!

                        It was refreshing to see a CW documentary with people the right age and weight playing the soldiers. Didn't see any old geezers like myself running around.

                          Anyone know if they're going to show it again? I didn't know about it 'til after it was over.

                          Thanks!

                            Well done Shane and Rob! Excellant programs!

                            I hope this leads to many more Wide Awake programs on the NGC!

                              I have received several emails from fellow Soldiers who asked me if I had seen the show. Several more folks that I work with praised it as well.
