    Response to Storming Juno
    I had a tiny role in some research, and know another researcher who provided quite a lot of help in contacting RRR veterans. Something like 10 Days to D-Day if I had to guess? Tells the stories of three men, Sgt Dan Hartigan (1 Can Para), Lieut Bill Grayson (RRR) and Sgt Leo Gariepy (1st Hussars). Juno footage shot at Sauble Beach this summer, don't know who they used to put that together.

    There is a companion documentary that will go with it and will include veteran interviews. The RRRs involved have not provided a lot of information previously, so I am looking forward to that.

    The more I see the trailer, the better it looks. Can't wait to see it.

    Not a bad docudrama...I quite enjoyed it. I'm sure the teeth gnashing will start about uniforms and other things not being correct but to me that's beside the point. I noticed quite a few discrepancies but those don't bother me much.
