William Miles has produced over 12 film documentaries for the
Public Broadcasting System. His subjects encompass the
entire African American experience:
- Men of
Bronze which
opened at the 1977 New York Film Festival. This
movie documents African American soldiers from
the 369th U.S.Infantry Battalion who fought for
France during WW1 and were awarded the Crois
de Guerre.
- I Remember
Harlem, 1980 it
portrays the history of Harlem from 1600-1980
- The
Liberators:Fighting on Two Fronts in WW2, 1992 was Oscar nominated for best
feature documentary. Tells the story of African
American soldiers in the all Black 761st tank
Battalion who helped liberate concentration camp
victims.
NOTE:
I have been unable to verify the status of the
Miles documentary. I requested written material
which was not sent. Although I have spoken on the
phone with Mr. Miles I have no other reliable
input about this project.
