A Northumberland County-based media production company is producing a documentary series, detailing the testimonies and stories of veterans of Cobourg Legion Branch 133.
Eelay Media is producing a six-part, ten minute documentary series, featuring 12 stories of the unique history of veterans. Production began in October, and the series is expected to be broadcast next year.
One story will feature Cobourg’s oldest veteran James “Jimmy” Keeler, who fought in the Korean War. Another episode examines the contributions of Fern Blodgett Sunde, who was the first Canadian woman wireless radio operator in the Navy on the M/S Mosdale during the Battle of the Atlantic.
Executive Producer Mark Johnston spoke with CFWN News Reporter Dan Jones regarding the development of the series and how production is going.
