A short film about the Greater Kansas City Program of Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing has been nominated for a Regional Emmy Award. The 10-minute film, by David Simmons of Thill Media, was one of several sponsored by KCPT in conjunction with the release this month of Ken Burns’s documentary on the Vietnam War. KCPT received a total of 11 regional nominations this year.
Simmons, himself a flyfisher, interviewed participants in the Greater Kansas City Program. He also attended several fly tying sessions and accompanied the group on a fishing outing to Rockbridge Trout Ranch near Ava, MO, in the research and production of the work.
Simmons presents his film with compassion, sensitivity and humor, amid the beauty and serenity that inspired the Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing program. The participants describe the program as life-changing and life-saving.
