F35: Westgarthtown & WWI (short documentary)

[Grug]

Hi guys,

Here's a short docu I shot on the F35 (and F5) that a few people asked to see. We just had the launch today, which was lovely, so figured I'd share it on here too.

It's called 'Westgarthtown & WWI', and explores the history of a german settlement in Melbourne, Australia, and the pressures they came under during The Great War. A fascinating little piece of local history.

For anyone who'd like to learn a little more about the history of the settlement, you can checkout the Friends of Westgarthtown website: http://www.westgarthtown.org.au/ww1/#

Cheers,

Mark

To follow up on a story of German immigrants in Australia, one might want to look up Stefan Weintraub of the Weintraub Syncopators. His is a fascinating and a sad tale.

BTW, there's a Germantown in the suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
