From the Heart: The Freeman Legacy
About the Project
This project celebrates the story of five men who have been awarded the city's highest honour - Freeman. Don Brown, Alan Emmott, David Herd, James Lorimer and George McLean are all Freemen of the City of Burnaby. These five Freemen are being honoured as veterans for their service to Canada during World War II and as Freemen for their service to their city, province, and country in the years that followed.
This project is the result of a collaboration between the City of Burnaby and Simon Fraser University, with the support of Veterans Affairs Canada and the Burnaby School District 41. They have produced a feature film as one element of a larger multimedia project. The Film on their lives, "From the Heart: The Freeman Legacy", will be shown on television and in schools this November.
This television documentary humanizes individual sacrifices made during a time of great need. It also honours the public service careers of five citizens whose lives were interrupted by war.
