D-Day: Over Normandy Narrated by Bill Belichick has been selected for acceptance for the 2017 Flickers’ Rhode Island International Film Festival. This year marks the 35th Anniversary of Flickers and RIIFF.  D-Day: Over Normandy was selected from over 6,000 

submissions from more than 60 countries. The one-hour documentary is narrated by the only NFL coach to win five Super Bowls, New England’s Bill Belichick.

The World War II Foundation hired one of France’s top aerial drone camera companies to film some of the most iconic locations in Normandy from D-Day. The result is some of the most spectacular scenes of the landing beaches and battlefields of Normandy, France viewers have ever seen.

The WWII Foundation tells the story of these famous locations utilizing only aerial footage from our drone camera, along with archival footage from June 6, 1944. The foundation also matches one or two actual D-Day veterans with each location filmed by the drone, so these veterans can share their stories of where they were and what they experienced on D-Day. One of those interviewed for the documentary is Frank Amalfetano of Warwick, who owned and operated Jennie’s Ice Cream for years in Conimicut. Amalfetano drove one of the landing crafts that ferried soldiers to the beaches in a hail of bullets and shells.
