- Contains material related to the color documentary Peace Stories, a 1991 release. The film features three men from the South recounting their war experiences and how their views of war were affected by participation. Interviewed are: William Farmer, who served in an armoured tank battalion in France in World War I; Connie Bolling, who was recruited by the Department of Defense during World War II to train cyclotron operators in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where the enriched uranium used in the first atomic bomb was made in secrecy; and Jack Wright, a Vietnam veteran who describes an experience where he felt he was responsible for killing a prisoner of war, and how difficult it has been for him to recover. Subjects include the personal narratives of Veterans from the Appalachian region and psychological aspects of war.
