My name is Jo Willesee and I am working on a documentary series for Film Australia called 'Colour of War - The Anzacs' and am hoping you may be able to help. To give you some background, the series uses colour film to relate the story of Australia and New Zealand at war from World War Two through to the end of Vietnam, and we're using the letters and diaries of the people who lived through these conflicts to tell our story. This is where you come in. We're on the lookout for first hand accounts (diaries, letters, school reports, essays) written at the time of Australia and NZ's involvement in WWII, the Occupation of Japan, Korean War, Malayan Emergency, Cold War and Vietnam, and we're hoping you might be able to point us in the direction of where we might find some. It's important to note it's not just the letters and diaries of people who served in these conflicts that we are interested in. We're hoping to find emotive first hand accounts of the everyday Aussies and Kiwis who lived through these events. Stories from the homefront are just as important as the ones from the battlefield. So ask your friends, parents, cousins and neighbours and find out if anyone has held onto their letters, diaries or school 'creative writing' books that we might be able to use in the series. I would love to hear about anything you find. If you have anything that might be of interest to the 'Colour of War' series please contact Jo Willesee on [email protected] that's [email protected] or leave a message on our toll free number 1800 88 33 20, and we will call you back. Thank you.
