Row after row of white marble headstones. Beaches that were stormed by
Allied troops during World War II. A young Canadian with only his acoustic
guitar and his camera.
War Music documents 22-year-old singer / song-writer David Porteous' solo
journey across Europe as he writes and records music inspired by the people
he meets and the places he visits.
David's journey is one to understand the war from the perspective of those
most affected by it - the soldiers who survived, the civilians who still
live with the war, and a younger generation who struggles to find a new
identity.
David's powerful, emotive music provides a soundtrack that draws us deep
into an often glamorized time in human history and gives us an incredibly
honest look at how World War II continues to affect us.
