But not until 50 years later would a shocking phone call between the two reveal secrets found buried in church records from the 1860s that would change their lives. Their story, rooted in the South, is also America’s story – one of slavery’s legacy and our current racial divide. It’s a story of healing and shows a way forward as Jimmie and De explore their binding truth. https://www.whirlygigproductions.com/home-draft daily 0.75 2023-11-01 https://www.whirlygigproductions.com/green-line-2 daily 0.75 2023-11-01 https://www.whirlygigproductions.com/sl3-2 daily 0.75 2018-10-10 https://www.whirlygigproductions.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2018-03-14 https://www.whirlygigproductions.com/short daily 0.75 2021-12-13 https://www.whirlygigproductions.com/books-1 daily 0.75 2020-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/1539024920660-CJ0TPMGZQU8276Y75K2K/Shelli+book+cover+2018+-+whiteBG.png Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/1603294329783-DOTO6M2TFE1QMDLC7NPC/Postcard_Image.jpg Books . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/1515425610481-P1J7GV4G3H5UEMWK6U9W/book+award.png Books Midwest Independent Publishers Association awarded the SSC book set a First Place Midwest Book Award (memoir/autobiography) The only finalist (1of 3) from Minnesota out of a 12-state region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/1514908331929-Q9B9RWCJB8XQQR46VY1Y/Forever+Ours+cover.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/1518360988193-ZPM5ZI76HD18N02TV45L/Grace+of+Ordinary+Days+cover.jpg Books https://www.whirlygigproductions.com/podcast-1 daily 0.75 2019-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/1576099659129-JDKMFFFUZDAGAI70TXRT/Screen+Shot+2019-12-11+at+3.27.07+PM.png Podcast http://shadowcultureinnovation.com/ https://www.whirlygigproductions.com/feature-documentaries daily 0.75 2023-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/1527430864256-ZXVU5WYL0ZVR9V7BVHU2/Stalag+Luft+III+-+One+Man%27s+Story++-+title+screen Feature Docs Stay tuned for screenings and opportunities to see this feature documentary film. https://www.whirlygigproductions.com/meet-louise daily 0.75 2019-09-07 https://www.whirlygigproductions.com/louisewoehrle-old daily 0.75 2023-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/09bfeb1d-a57b-487f-8013-440e2bc75dfa/website%2Btitle%2Bpage.png Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/1570303911149-I46E9M37K5FX7T1OD27O/Official+Selection_website.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/1570304720646-LI29TMLAVC9ID3R7BIRF/Charles+Woehrle_opening Home Charles Woehrle - Golden Hour at age 95 https://www.whirlygigproductions.com/highlights-test daily 0.75 2021-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/1521119859920-XL4R7HVQZFTUWWN90JGR/Regional+Emmy+Award Awards Regional Emmy for short dramatic film Grandfather's Birthday https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/1521119915243-VRAMMLT48GJC3NMVLEYY/images-2.jpg Awards Silver award (national) What's It About?

As for best documentary, it was “Stalag Luft III” that won moviegoers’ hearts. This was director Louise Woehrle’s film about her uncle Charles Woehrle, a bombardier shot down during World War II, captured by the Nazis and imprisoned in a huge camp in Poland. He made it home to Minnesota — lived to be 98 — and recounted the astonishing ways he stayed alive in the camp; much of this is illustrated with re-enactments, historical photographs and animation. “It’s not a tribute film,” Louise told the audience in the Peter Simpson Free Cinema, aka the Marina Room on Hudson Street, after the early Sunday morning showing. Instead, “Stalag Luft III” was about the way the prisoners helped one another — while her uncle didn’t sink into self-pity. “From the get-go, it wasn’t about him … the way he coped was: ‘How can I look out for the other guy?’ ” https://www.peninsuladailynews.com/news/and-the-winners-are-port-townsend-film-festival-wraps-up-with-awards/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/1570801603885-YPXEO66UKUWR60F5NN7S/Stalag_heartland%2Bfestival.jpg Press Honored to be mentioned as a film to see at Heartland International Film Festival - 4,000 feature film submissions this year and Stalag is one of 200 films they chose to screen.

Will also reviewed the film here. Will Bjarnar: How did you first come across Jimmie and De’s story? Louise Woehrle: I was in New York screening my previous film, Stalag Luft III—One Man’s Story.

I said I really didn’t know but that I had a few ideas. She said, “What about the Jimmie Lee and De story?” I knew very little about their story at the time.

The adage goes that the first step to solving any problem is recognizing there is one. This can be quite challenging to do, as acknowledging problems oftentimes comes with needing to face our fears, insecurities, and shame head-on. That is why we need brave filmmakers like Louise Woehrle, whose new documentary A Binding Truth shines a light on a vital story of two friends who learned of their shared family ancestry through their ancestor’s slaveholding roots…” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/a2aace11-5057-4262-8f09-d569cabbdb1b/Whirlygig-Film-Threat.jpg PRESS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a400ebc8fd4d2655eb1add9/4ae88c1c-f570-4f32-b208-25cfd54a4907/Whirlygig-Productions-PRESS-A-Binding-Truth-Film-Threat-Interview.jpg PRESS - Louise Woehrle Delves Into Race, Healing, and Friendship in A Binding Truth “Award-winning filmmaker Louise Woehrle is a storyteller and the owner of Whirlygig Productions, Inc., whose projects have found national and international broadcast and distribution.
