I am a documentary filmmaker with a B.A. in History. I have been fascinated with history my entire life; reading books, attending lectures, viewing films, and visiting preserved sites like Gettysburg, Saratoga, Antietam, and Forts Montgomery and Clinton since I was a young boy. My mother enjoys telling people I “learned to walk” on the Gettysburg Battlefield during one of my first trips with the family. For years, friends and family have graciously enjoyed my recounting of stories I learned from books, films, and online research. I would even do extensive research on the events portrayed in video games such as Call of Duty or Assassin’s Creed and share their significance with friends as we played the games together. I’ll always appreciate their indulgence in allowing me to be a pseudo-history teacher outside the classroom. I have a passion for film and storytelling; having started making home movies when I was young with Nerf guns and G.I. Joe’s. Over time, my skills in writing, filming, and editing sharpened to allow for the content presented here. It is my hope that the mixture of education and entertainment offered by our films will allow for information that may otherwise fall flat, or not be discussed in the classroom, to resonate with our audience and provide a fresh and balanced perspective of history and our everyday life. |

We are empowering communities to dream and lead. Micro-credit loans for wells, toilets, farms and businesses are increasing the long-term impact of communities in Ghana. Walter has 20 years’ experience working in Africa. Our early Rotary projects located wells in communities with the highest incidence of Guinea worm disease in Ghana and South Sudan partnering with the Carter Center. The World Health Organization certified Ghana as free of Guinea worm disease in 2014. He traveled to South Sudan in 2013 and again during the civil war in November 2015 to inspect Rotary’s clean water project there. Rotary is close to eradicating both Guinea worm disease and polio from the world. Walter’s Cell: 540-493-4715 Email Address: walterkhughes@gmail.com |
