 This is the true story of the WASPs (Women's
Airforce Service Pilots) told by WASP, Jean Landis. Brave women pilots
who, for the first time in the history of the United States, were
recruited to volunteer their services in WWII by ferrying fighter
planes, test flying new and repaired planes, and towing targets in the
air for artillery practice. How the WASPs were formed, the incredible
challenges they faced and the cause of their early demise. These heroic
young women of the 1940's opened the door for today's military female
pilots.

 This film gives a glimpse of the transition from
the segregated to integrated school systems of the 1960's in Manatee
County Florida. This is shown from the perspective of two legends from
that transition, legendary high school football Coach Eddie Shannon,
and former NFL player, Henry Lawrence,
who were part of the
All-African-American Lincoln Memorial High School, which had a strong
legacy in the African-American community, but had to be shut down to
integrate previously All-White Manatee High School. The confusion,
sadness, and anxiety of the transition is illustrated through their
stories. |
