Coverage of Voices in Wartime Education Project
Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, February, 2006
 February 21st feature in the Fond du Lac Reporter
Voices in wartime are too often silent — the bearer of mute grief passed down from generation to generation. Bill Zierdt, a Vietnam veteran and professor at Marian College, knows now he passed down his broken coping skills to his daughter. "I don't have a friend because I push people away. I don't have the desire or the skills," he said Saturday morning in a room at the University of Wisconsin-Fond du Lac filled with about 30 people who came to hear and share personal stories of war. The story panel was part of a daylong series of events that focused on the impact of war and the community's response to a Friday night showing of the full-length feature documentary, "Voices in Wartime." Andy Himes, the film's executive producer, flew in from Seattle, Wash., to participate in the local project. Read more... | |

About Voices in Wartime
Voices in Wartime uses the words of Wilfred Owen, considered by many to be the greatest poet of World War I, as a guide: “Above all I am not concerned with Poetry. My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity… All a poet can do today is warn. That is why true Poets must be truthful.”
Glowing reviews from NY Times, NY Post, TV Guide, Seattle Times/PI, etc.
