Synopsis
How We Remember is a 10 minute documentary about how soldiers remember their military service from the good memories to the bad ones. Every Remembrance day we gather to pay our respects for those who served for our country and those who gave their lives for our country, but I always find they mostly focus on the great wars. This documentary will tell the story of a few soldiers who have served in the past 30 years and go in-depth about their experiences. we will journey to the BATUS military base located just outside of medicine hat to get a feel for what soldiers serving today go through on a day to day basis. for me this documentary will be a nostalgia trip as my family and I used to live on this base and looking back at my childhood is how I remember my Fathers service and pay respect.
