I happen to love history documentaries... so to mix in a little fly fishing, well, let's just say I'll be watching (and setting my DVR). You may like to as well. It'll also be nice to see some additional footage from Lefty Kreh, who served as an Ambassador to this film.
If you'd like to learn a little extra on Joe Brooks and the story behind making this film, you can check out www.joebrooksdocumentary.com or take in the latest April Vokey "Anchored" podcast featuring Joe Brooks, grand-nephew of the subject of the project.
Or even better, consider a donation to the Joe Brooks Foundation for Conservation and Outdoor Education.
Thank you, for the sharing this, Mike. I had no idea who Joe Brooks was until I read your post, and I look forward to listening to that podcast and hopefully viewing the documentary. I'm a fan of documentaries, too.
ReplyDeleteCool, hope you're able to catch it this weekend. I watched it last night, his backstory is pretty interesting.
DeleteI've seen some of the documentary. It's definitely worth everyone's time.
