hen Chicago filmmaker John Davies began doing research for his 2016 television documentary Heroes on Deck, the littleknown story of a World War II aircraft pilot training program that took place on Lake Michigan, he stumbled on an intriguing statistic that sparked a big idea for his next film. “Possibly as much as 30% of all U.S. material used to support the war effort was manufactured in and around the City of Chicago,” said Davies. “That included a range of items like food, parachutes and tanks.” Inspired by the notion that Chicago played a unique role in WWII, Davies set to work producing the one-hour documentary A City at War: Chicago narrated by A&E crime show host and Lake County resident Bill Kurtis. After premiering on November 9 at 8 p.m. on WTTW, Chicago’s public television station, the film will air to a national audience next May on Memorial Day. “We’re hoping this will be the first in an eight-part series featuring all the U.S. industrialized cities,” said Davies.
