The first screening of Saving the Reality, a documentary based on the book Museum of World War II, was hosted Jan. 14 at Plimoth Cinema, which is located at Plimoth Plantation.
The documentary uses the remembrances of World War II veterans, along with the collection of Museum of World War II articles as a backdrop for this historic recording of some of history’s inescapable moments.
The museum is owned by Ken Rendell of Natick. Rendell is the owner of the widest collection of World War II artifacts in the world.
The film uses the Museum’s entire collection and the longstanding memories of World War II veterans to record events that took place in Normandy, in the Pacific, in Italy and in Germany.
Tom Ruggiero and Alba Thompson, both of Plymouth, contributed their memories of their service in World War II to the documentary.
Many special guests were in attendance to view the film.
Congressman Bill Keating attended and was the first to speak to the crowd.
Ruggiero’s good friend, WBZ-TV anchor Jack Williams also made an appearance and spoke compassionately to the audience as he shared the special memories he has with Ruggiero.
Also in attendance were former Plymouth Selectman David Malaguti, Plymouth Veterans Agent Roxanne Whitbeck and board members from the Nathan Hale Veterans Outreach Centers.
The event was sponsored by Heidrea Communications, the Nathan Hale Veterans Outreach Centers, Congressman Keating, state Rep. Tom Calter, Plimoth Plantation and Jack Williams.
