Dear Station Manager: 
    2002, In America, I produced a 45 minute NTSC digital independent movie comprised of film 
students and myself called "the Miracle Men."   I would appreciate any interest 
you might have in airing this movie.  I  would be happy to send you a VHS preview copy. 
    It is an American Civil War movie about the subtle interactions of Confederate 
and Union soldiers when away from the battlefield, and showcases "man's 
humanity to his fellow man." A disabled Union soldier, Captain Joseph 
"Joe" Lane is the primary hero, though every soldier in the movie is a 
hero in their own right.  The movie places family and friends first (a 
historical fact), and demonstrates the effects of alcohol abuse. 

    The movie has aired on numerous Award Winning public TV educational 
stations in California, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Maine, Montana, 
Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas and others, and it has aired nation wide on a 
Dish Network Universityhouse station.
