I found this fascinating

This show aired on Remembrance Day and I saw it for the first time. I found it absolutely fascinating! I can't imagine being in the middle of the wartime action armed with only a camera and a few rolls of film. These people must have been among the most courageous in the country to be willing to put themselves in harms way to record the events for history, and I have the utmost respect for them all.

This production was extremely well made, not only because of the subject matter but also the way in which it was presented. I found it both interesting and informative without feeling sensationalized, and I came away from the experience with an enthusiasm that forced me to share what I had learned with friends later that evening.

Kudos to all involved in bringing this story to life, it was very much appreciated.

It gave me goosebumps

D-Day was a day in history that changed the world. But until now, the story of the landing at Juno beach was just a history lesson. "Shooters" brought it home for me -- and for my wife and seven-year-old daughter.

To see the actual footage of those brave men jumping off the landing craft into the shallow waters off Juno Beach and lay their lives on the line for all those who followed was truly an awe-inspiring moment.

Congratulations to some fine Canadian filmmakers. You make us proud -- and you make us think.
