[PW] Re: ? documentary film about father and sons in Alaska

[Dunham, Christopher]

Jeanne,

I asked a friend in Alaska who freelances for PBS and this is his
response:

"Never heard of it, but try Alaska Moving Images Preservation
Association. They have a lot of historical film stuff at
http://amipa.org."

Good luck,
Chris

Subject: [PW] ? documentary film about father and sons in Alaska

Hello fellow Wombats,
I have a patron who is looking for a documentary film which she thinks
was made from a book about a man who goes to Alaska with his two sons
and a nanny or tutor to start a sheep ranch. In this film, they scavenge
materials from a an old World War II military station. My patron thinks
that It might have taken place on one of the Aleutian Islands perhaps
Attu or Kiska which had military stations during WWII. 
She remembers seeing this film on television perhaps PBS and said it was
similar in feel to another Alaskan documentary film, "Alone in the
Wilderness" by Dick Proenneke which was also shown on PBS. 
Can anyone provide me with the film title or any additional information?
Thanks,
Jeanne Ryer
