Documentarian Zach Dunn talks global veteran stories
STORY BY ALEX BOWERS
“Kids these days …” goes the old trope, “they don’t care about what generations past did for them.” It might be the case for some, but not all. It’s likely not even the case for most. Few, however, demonstrate their respect quite like 25-year-old Zach Dunn.
For the last three years, the Toronto-based documentarian has interviewed almost 70 former military personnel from 10 countries, sharing their recollections with thousands via social media and YouTube. The compelling video series, “Global Veteran Stories,” was inspired by Dunn’s late grandparents, who both served in the Second World War. The young Canadian filmmaker has since honoured their legacy, having travelled across Ontario to sit down with the conflict’s last-living combatants, as well as those of Korea and Vietnam.
