S1.E3 ∙ Leif

In all its stages, from the production of weapons through combat to cleanup and restoration, war entails actions that pollute land, air, and water, destroy biodiversity, and drain natural resources. Yet the environmental damage occasioned by war and preparation for war is routinely underestimated, under reported, even ignored. The environment remains war's 'silent casualty.' This shorter, one hour version, of the feature length film by the same name is a powerful reminder of the true impact of war throughout our history.

Beyond the disagreements, the men and women of the Vercors formed the matrix of Résistance. Between forced and voluntary support, they made possible the heroism of the fighters before the last throes of war fell, they brought hope, food, human warmth. Without this support, could members of the Résistance and refugees have survived?

The saga of WWI is told through rare film footage found in the government archives. Bonus footage includes biography of John J. Pershing and General Douglas MacArthur.

Created by Ernest Everett Blevins, the Graves Register and Monuments officer of the Department of Georgia & South Carolina Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. Ernest wanted to attract attention to the prospect of hosting the 2014 National Encampment in Georgia. He wanted this event to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the War between the States and the Atlanta Campaign. Using historical references to follow the road from north Georgia to the Atlanta area, the video shows historical and modern sites along the trail.
