Shooting began in January 2006 with an in-depth interview with Col. Charles O'Sullivan at his home in Arkansas.  Col. O'Sullivan shared his experiences while in the jungles of New Guinea during WWII.  

A few days later our cameras were in Pennsylvania at the home of Dr. Laura Zimmer-Tamakoshi, anthropologist and expert on the Gende people of Papua New Guinea.  Dr. Zimmer-Tamakoshi has studied societies and cultures in the same region that Col. O'Sullivan's story takes place.  

During the summer of 2006 we caught up with the O'Sullivans again, this time to collect Mrs. O'Sullivan's side of the story.  Mareelee O'Sullivan had not seen her husband in nearly two years when she received a telegram stating that he was missing in action in Papua New Guinea.  

In October we visited with Mr. Lewis Lockhart in Tennessee.  Mr. Lockhart was flying as Col. O'Sullivan's wingman on the day he crashed in New Guinea.  We were able to capture his perspective in an interview about this incredible story.
