Bedford: The Town They Left Behind
During World War II, men from all over the United States went into combat, but it was Bedford, Va., that earned D-Day’s most chilling distinction: the country's highest losses per capita. Directors Joe Fab and Elliot Berlin, who approached the Holocaust from a fresh direction with “Paperclips” (Filmfest DC 2004), now tell the story in the documentary “Bedford: The Town They Left Behind” and also places it in contemporary context: In 2004, Bedford's National Guard troops were called up for the first time since 1945. They were sent first to Afghanistan and then to Iraq.
