The Film

As the world approaches the centennial of World War I, we are seeking a sponsor for this historic and pivotal film. This will be the story of how Frank's life has unfolded, from common to truly historic. The film will be narrated by Emmy® Award-winning actor Richard Thomas, who starred in The Waltons and All Quiet on the Western Front.
