"To What Remains" is the story of Project Recover, a team of scientists, oceanographers, archaeologists, historians, researchers, and military veterans, who have dedicated their lives to scouring the depths of the ocean and the farthest corners of the earth, to search for, recover, and repatriate the remains of the more than 80,000 Americans missing in action since WWII.
In breathtaking imagery and intimate interviews with Project Recover team members and MIA families, To What Remains takes viewers inside this journey to honor our fallen servicemen, from the discovery of wreckage on the seafloor in the South Pacific to the living room of a stunned family in middle America, to a well-deserved final resting place at home.
Derek Abbey, Ph.D., Major, U.S. Marine Corps, retired, & CEO of Project Recover will facilitate a Q&A after the film.
Film length: 1 hour 21 minutes
About Project Recover: Based in Bend, Project Recover is the only non-governmental organization (NGO) that can conduct MIA search and recovery missions in both underwater and land environments. Their strong values of respect and perseverance have helped them build trusting relationships with their partners, host countries, and their growing community of MIA family members and supporters. Their education initiatives aim to keep the stories of MIAs alive, as well as expose current and future generations to history, civic duty, and the many career options related to their work.
