PBS AIRS "HOMECOMING: A VIETNAM VETS JOURNEY"
The Personal Homecoming of Vietnam War Veterans
SHOT WITH JVC'S GY-DV500 CAMCORDER

WAYNE, NJ (May 13, 2002) - Across the country, PBS television viewers who tune into E C Productions' Homecoming: A Vietnam Vets Journey (www.homecoming.tv) will get an up-close look at the journey of 300 Vietnam Veterans and their supporters traveling on motorcycles across America. The personal pain and grief experienced by the Veterans as they ride in remembrance of those who did not come home, and the warm welcome and unbridled appreciation they receive from the public, is captured on JVC PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT COMPANY'S GY-DV500 camcorder.

Homecoming tracks over 300 Vietnam Vets and supporters as they make a healing pilgrimage on motorcycles from California across the United States of America to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC. The film focuses on five Vets, from varied backgrounds, and their common goal of coming together to heal. The film follows a journey across America and through the riders' own lives - a journey that leads them to their emotional, physical and spiritual Homecoming. Through their own words, viewers will hear their stories of the past: getting drafted, going to war, experiencing the loss of a close friend, and the shutting down and coping with these strong emotions and memories. Homecoming is a film about the Warriors, not the Vietnam War.

"Homecoming, I think, connects the past with the present and delineates the physiological aftereffect that was inaugurated decades ago," commented Thomas Shreffler, Vietnam Vet 1970-71.

All of the interviews were shot on JVC's GY-DV500 camera. "We needed a high quality, reliable and affordable camera with the professional features that would live up to the high-end PBS standards," stated Eric Christiansen, the director/cameraman and editor of of Homecoming. "Homecoming is a very intense, personal look at people on the path to grief recovery. It really is about a group of people coming 'back home.' With JVC's GY-DV500 camcorder we found the images and the quality we needed to convey the emotional, physical and spiritual homecoming these veterans experienced."

American Public Television will be distributing Homecoming nationwide to the Public Television System. Some of the PBS stations airing the film are: WNET/Thirteen New York, WYBE Philadelphia, KEET California, KBDI Denver and WTVS Detroit.
