Tim Gray Media’s recent airing of its documentary film Navy Heroes of Normandy became one of the first ever locally produced films to air on Rhode Island PBS affiliate WSBE’s HD channel.

The film, which chronicles the building and dedication of the first monument in Normandy, France recognizing the United States Navy’s role on D-Day, aired on Veterans’ Day and for several days following.

“Rhode Island PBS just recently made the switch to an all HD programming channel and it was great to see NHN air on that channel in full high definition, ” said Tim Gray, President of Tim Gray Media.

“What made it even more special was to see color film of the D-Day operation air in HD, some of the footage had never been seen before,” Gray said. “To see the invasion in full HD color was breathtaking,” Gray continued.

Navy Heroes of Normandy was produced and written by Emmy Award winning writer Tim Gray and filmed and edited by multiple Emmy Award winning photographer Jim Karpeichik of Ocean State Video.
