This documentary was made to honor the waterfowl hunters that lost their lives as well as the survivors of the Armistice Day Blizzard of 1940. This impactful event in the Midwest has often been forgotten through history. During a warm Monday morning, many waterfowl hunters had a day off from work due to the celebration of Armistice Day, known today as Veteran's Day. What these hunters didn't realize, is that a relaxing day of hunting during an Indian summer would turn into a fight for survival in freezing temperatures.
