Galway and a team of five other local independent filmmakers plan on traveling 1,000 miles through Europe this spring, retracing the steps of her grandfather, George G. Blackburn, who served as an observation officer in the Canadian military, and producing a documentary about what promises to be an emotional excursion. The reason for the project is twofold: The group hopes to distribute the film to schools and educate a new generation of students who are taught little, if anything, about World War II, and it’s also a way for the filmmakers to experience firsthand the emotion and gratitude felt by European people liberated from the clutches of evil by the Allied troops. The project is being called Victory Journey, and it will take the group through Belgium, Holland, Germany and France. They will start in March and end on May 8, the 75th anniversary of V-E Day, with Galway standing on the exact same spot as her grandfather did at Juno Beach, one of the five beaches in German-occupied France during the Normandy landing.
