(L. to R. with Fred): In Radomsko, Poland, we put down cameras to help clean a mass grave with Baptist minister Steven Reece, our guide to Fred's spectacular discovery.
Sound and second cameraman Eric Ibarra has lived in Hong Kong, Manila, Montana, and is honing his filmmaking craft in Los Angeles.
Cameraman and editor Edward Garcia, New Hampshire native and graduate of Emerson College, works in Los Angeles as a cinematographer, film editor, musician, visual effects artist, as a teacher for Digital Dragon, and in post-production for international clients.
Our beacon to Fred's final journey, Baptist minister Dr. Steven D. Reece leads The Matzevah Foundation that cares for and restores Jewish cemeteries in Poland and commemorates mass grave sites.
As a photojournalist living in Poland, serendipity led Steven to one of 1,200 neglected Jewish cemeteries. He was impelled to honor the Jews who had thrived in Poland before the Nazis murdered 3.5 million of them.
Poland is the ancestral home to 80% of North American Jews. Steven is developing a model for partnering them with Poles to care for the cemeteries and open the path of reconciliation.
