West Potsdam man produces ‘The Unknowns’ documentary film

Posted

WEST POTSDAM -- Ethan Morse, formerly of West Potsdam, has produced his first film with his Army buddy and friend, Neil Schrodetski.

Both men became sentinels at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and have since filmed and documented the life of these soldiers.

This film includes how the sentinels are chosen, what goes into their training, why they are dedicated to their task, and why honoring The Unknowns is so important. Follow their day-to-day routine, laying of ceremonial wreaths, and the internal fortitude that drives these amazing young men.

Morese began his interest in filming while an extra in the movie “Gods and Generals.” His passion for history, love of seeing things come together behind the scenes, and his personal desire to encourage and honor others led him to California following his tour of duty at Arlington National Cemetery.

This film is an extraordinary glimpse “through the nine month gauntlet of instruction, correction, and the pursuit of perfection. Watch as these soldiers are exposed to the rich history and honorable traditions of the brotherhood of Sentinels who guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.”
