Ken Verdoia

Documents the denial of rights to American citizens of Japanese descent who were forced from their homes to Utah's desert rangeland during World War II. This documentary discusses internment, contains interviews with former internees, and has footage of Topaz from Dave Tatsuno's movie filmed during camp.

Ken Verdoia's two-hour documentary "BATTALION" uncovers the story of the Mormon Battalion during the War With Mexico. Marching 2,000 miles through the mostly uncharted American Southwest, the 500-man battalion was a pivotal force in fulfilling the national dream of Manifest Destiny.

When its existence was announced in the summer of 2004, Range Creek Canyon triggered worldwide interest in a special parcel of land wedged in a remote corner of Utah. Hundreds, if not thousands, of ancient sites of the now-vanished Fremont Indians had been discovered on the land. It was an archaeological treasure trove.

To children living in the rubble of post-war Germany, it was candy from heaven. Some saw it as a sign that somebody in America cared about them. To Colonel Gail “Hal” Halvorsen, who became known worldwide as the Candy Bomber, the Berlin Airlift was healing balm on the wounds of war. He and his fellow American pilots dropped more than two million tons of supplies and 23 tons of candy to German citizens and children during the Berlin Airlift. KUED presents the inspiring story of the Utah pilot whose simple gesture of goodwill won the hearts of a former enemy and made him a hero to people around the world.
