The event will take place at 8 pm in the Student Life Building Auditorium on the campus of Florida State University. The thirteen-part series, which will begin airing in late November, is a journey into World War II through the eyes of those who witnessed and lived the conflict firsthand. Unlike any other World War II series ever made, The Color of War tells stories of individual experiences of the war through authentic color footage, images that are not tinted, colorized, or retouched. For the series, Corry and his team of producers made extensive use of the archives of the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience at Florida State University, which houses the nations largest non-federally-funded body of materials devoted exclusively to the social history of World War II. Im proud to have the opportunity to come back to Florida State for this event, says Corry. The World War II Institute is a world-class archive, and were fortunate to have had access to those materials. The sneak preview is a small token of my appreciation for the great work that Bill Oldson the Institutes director and his people have done in preserving these irreplaceable pieces of our history. Authentic audio from war correspondents, newsreels or radio broadcasts sets up a particular campaign or issue, but the heart of the story will come from the people themselves. Through a seamless tapestry of faithfully recreated voice-overs of letters, telegrams, poems, songs, communiqus, combat camera logs, and soldiers diaries, viewers experience their stories and feel what they feel. The personal journeys detailed in The Color of War take us from The Gathering Storm to The Price of War;
