320th Barrage Balloon Battalion hero Corporal Waverly Woodson was highlighted in a story in Politico days before the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. The piece entitled The Forgotten Hero of Day chronicles the heroic efforts of Woodson and the decades long quest to get him the recognition he so richly deserves.
Woodson is one of the central characters in the feature film Barrage, penned by our founder and CEO, Michael Gordon Bennett, who himself has a distant relative that was part of the only all-Black unit to storm the beaches of Normandy on the morning of June 6, 1944.
The nationally recognized screenplay is currently in development and will be produced by 727 Squared. To get started we recently launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise the initial seed capital.
