We
have worked on a documentary made by Eagle Media Productions for Discovery
Channel.
The documentary is about the Resistance in the Netherlands during
the war.
For this production we were asked to pull out all stops!
We did a lot of research, contacted real resistance members, acted
as interpreters, advised, provided authentic reproductions, organized
access to unique and rarely filmed Atlantic-wall bunkers, took care
of weapon permits for filming, organized a group of authentically
dressed 
Dutch
1940 soldiers in exact reproductions of the real uniforms and last
but not least we acted in several scenes for them.
We were honored that we could share the story of the Dutch resistance
with a English speaking audience.
We acted out a scene where German soldiers look for people in hiding
in a small living room, not knowing that someone is indeed hiding
behind the book case...
We re-enacted the work of our brave couriers, set up a German checkpoint
in the woods and even showed how downed Allied Airmen were helped
by the Dutch to avoid capture.
The film crew was impressed by our quality reenactments
and our historically correct impressions.
The documentary was broadcasted in january and february 2005
and will probably be repeated several times.
