Watch an Emotionally Gripping Documentary During Screening Aboard USS Yorktown
Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum will host a screening of the new documentary “To What Remains” at 6:30 pm on Monday, April 11th, 2022. Tickets are $10 and include an opportunity to have a conversation with the team members of Project Recover featured in the film.
“To What Remains” follows the efforts of Project Recover to find the remains of more than 80,000 Americans missing in action since World War II. Project Recover is a team of accomplished scientists, oceanographers, archaeologists, historians, researchers, and military veterans who have dedicated their lives to bring these heroes home. The documentary was filmed over a series of several years and takes viewers on an emotional journey into the depths of the ocean and farthest corners of the earth to bring closure to families of service members killed more than 75 years ago.
“We are honored the Project Recover team is partnering with Patriots Point to host this film screening,” said Executive Director Dr. Rorie Cartier. “In our museum, we tell the stories of these World War II veterans and their sacrifices for our country. Many families were left heartbroken by the tragedy of war and decades later have not received closure because their loved ones are still missing in action. We know this documentary will be an impactful experience for our visitors and demonstrate the lasting impacts of World War II.”
During the film screening at Patriots Point, guests will see breathtaking imagery captured during the search, plus intimate interviews with Project Recover and MIA families. After the film, viewers are invited to participate in a Q&A session with four members of the Project Recover team.
Tickets can be purchased online at patriotspoint.org and are expected to sell out.
