The Donut Dollies Documentary begins filming in Vietnam

Later today, Norm Anderson, the director of the Donut Dollies Documentary will arrive in Saigon/Ho Chi Min City with two Red Cross Donut Dollies, Dorset (Hoogland) Anderson and Mary (Blanchard) Bowe to begin filming their return to Vietnam for the first time in over 46 years. Along with a film crew including Jess Hill (Producer), Joe Cicio (Cameraman) and Angeline Herron (Camerawoman), they will be filming in Cam Ranh, Cu Chi, Nha Trang, Pleiku, Qui Nhon and Tuy Hoa. The mission of this trip is to document the memories of two of the 627 college graduates who volunteered through the American Red Cross to serve our brave soldiers during the Vietnam War.

Article on Donut Dollie Dorset Anderson appears in the Washington Times

We were glad to see that an article on Donut Dollie Dorset Anderson and our documentary was published in the Washington Times (DC).  Interest has certainly been growing and spreading out across the country.  It’s exciting to see the story of the Donut Dollies reaching more and more people, which we hope you’ll agree is a story that needs to be documented and shared.

Labor of Love – Local woman tells story of her time serving as Donut Dollie for Red Cross

Here’s a great Sunday feature article on Donut Dollie Dorset Anderson and our documentary project.  Paul Hopkins wrote this article for the Berkshire Eagle, one of the larger newspapers in Western Massachusetts.

This article provides an interesting look into why Dorset chose to go to Vietnam and what she experienced during her year of service on behalf of the Red Cross.

Thanks to Paul for his interest in the story of the Donut Dollies and in helping spread the word on what we hope to achieve through our documentary.

Vietnam’s Donut Dollies — Unsung, They Served, Too

Here’s a  great recent article on PBS’s Next Avenue website, by journalist, writer and Vietnam veteran Doug Bradley that talks about the Donut Dollies, our documentary and our reasons for doing it.

We really appreciate Doug’s support and the fact that he was able to publish the article while our Kickstarter campaign was still going on, which definitely helped more folks hear about us and get involved.
