Today, Cameroun Liberty crosses the Atlantic to Los Angeles, home of Mason Ewing, a producer, director, costume designer, set designer and screenwriter. This blind artist is already well known to the Cameroonian community and the diaspora around the world. But he is not our subject today. It is November 11, and this day belongs to the soldiers.
One hundred and eight years ago, the guns fell silent on the front. That date has become one of remembrance, freedom and liberation. It also reminds us that Cameroon itself experienced the war: from 1914, the territory was a theater of operations, and African soldiers, including Cameroonians, served under foreign flags. Their story is our story, and it deserves to be passed on.
Joe and Nick Pietroforte: Two Names, One Courage
Among the names being talked about right now, two stand out: Joe and Nick Pietroforte. Two men of courage, from a family that came from Italy and settled in the United States. Their journey is a model and an example for our youth.
For the question must be asked, uncomfortable as it is: do the young people of the 237 still have the desire to fight to protect their country?
A Documentary That Pays Tribute
The documentary The Pietroforte Family: War Memories takes us into this close-knit family: seven boys and one girl. Among them was Louis Pietroforte, who died at 28. A destiny cut too short, torn apart by the memories of war. The film honors this family and, through them, all veterans.
The Veterans Channel: The Platform for Veterans
Cameroonians who wish to discover this family can do so on The Veterans Channel, a streaming platform entirely dedicated to veterans, which fights to make them shine. Its president, Henah Hannah, is actively seeking sponsors and partner companies willing to support this project. The platform is available in many countries.
A Public Thank You, and What Comes Next
Ewing Power Productions wishes to publicly thank all the soldiers who fought, and those who will continue to fight, to protect their country.
Asked by Cameroun Liberty, Mason Ewing confirmed that more documentaries about war veterans are on the way. According to his team, a major war film is also planned within the next few years, in collaboration with president Henah Hannah and the veterans.
The entire Cameroun Liberty team sends its thoughts to the families who lost a loved one during the wars. November 11 is a date of freedom and liberation. Let us never forget it.
