Synopsis
“King High Remembers” is a documentary short that shows the evolution of the King High Remembers event. From its initial conceptualization, to the recruitment of veterans and students, the story invites viewers to see what an impact this program is making on the lives of its participants. The film profiles John Corona as he prepares for the annual history lesson and the amount of effort it requires to sustain interest in KHR both from sponsors and the community. The film also profiles several war veterans and students who are being introduced to the program for the first time as well as those who have repeatedly participated. The documentary is more than just a behind-the-scenes feature, but intends to let viewers across the country know that not only does the younger generation have an interest and hunger for veterans’ stories, but they want to actively participate and be a part of veterans’ lives.
