We hope you've enjoyed our special presentation of V-DAY 11.11.11. The programis a feature-length documentary (1-hour 40 minutes) that examines what it means to be a veteran in America by telling the stories of some of the men and women who dedicate their lives to our country. SCCtv is the first station in the country to broadcast the documentary in its entirity.

Cameras followed these individuals on November 11, 2011 and beyond for a glimpse into the lives of those who protect and defend our country. Weaving together these profiles and stories from all across the US, the audience witnesses what it means to serve in both peace time and at war. Over a dozen notable filmmakers joined Director John Goheen in this non-profit documentary, premiering in May 2012.

John C.P Goheen, a three-time winner of NPPA's Ernie Crisp Television News Photographer of the Year title and former KOMO TV News photographer, isan independent filmmaker and instructor at Loyola University.

The Mission

The goal of the documentary is to provide a way for living veterans and the families of fallen veterans to speak about things they generally prefer to keep to themselves, and to provoke the kind of thought and reflection that Veteran's Day is all about. With this in mind, we hope for as many people as possible to see the film. The film is being offered for free to any veterans' organization across the country who wishes to host a screening or use it for educational purposes. In addition to nationwide screenings, we are also submitting the project to film festivals, partnering with public television stations and keeping the public informed of our progress.
