A BINDING TRUTH - Trailer

They were high school classmates in 1965, one Black, one White. Jimmie transferred his senior year from an all-Black high school to an affluent white high school in Charlotte - he was their first Black football star. That decision swept him into one of North Carolina's most volatile civil rights cases, played out at the explosive intersection of football and race. De watched that case unfold and wrote about it in his college essay application. He said it got him into Harvard. Decades later, a shocking discovery reveals secrets buried in church records that would change their lives. Their story, rooted in the South, is also America’s story – one of slavery’s legacy and our current racial divide. It’s a story of healing and shows a way forward as Jimmie and De explore their binding truth.

Charles Woehrle saw the worst in man, and because of it, embodied the best in man. By the time one has finished with this film, there is a feeling of standing among giants.
— Raymond T. Rivard, Editor Sun Current
 
Stalag Luft III—One Man’s Story is a visually stunning act of immersion into the reality of the World War II air war, into the fascinating, horrifying, sometimes funny daily realities of prison-camp existence, and into the life of a plainspoken Minnesota man whom suffering turned
into an apostle of compassion.
— Jon Spayde, senior Editor, Public Art Reveiew

I must say that I have a hard time even coming up with words to describe how much I like your film. I can’t imagine anybody watching it and not falling in love with your Uncle Charles. The footage and photos are incredible, the story is riveting and emotional. And, as far as documentaries go, this is one of the best I’ve ever seen.
— Steven Zwemke, SDPB producer
Stalag Luft III: One Man’s Story, is not a film about a watch; the Patek Philippe is only a chapter in a long and extraordinary story. This film comes at a time when we need stories like Charles Woehrle’s, full of optimism and kindness in the face of great adversity.
— Jason Heaton, Hodinkee
