The life and career of John McCrae, a World War I army doctor who wrote the 20th century's greatest war memorial poem. This documentary chronicles McCrae's life from his childhood in Guelph, Ontario, to the battlefields of Belgium. It tells the story of his famous poem and pays tribute to the Canadian soldiers of World War I.
Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (November 30, 1872 – January 28, 1918) was a Canadian poet, physician, author, artist and soldier during World War I, and a surgeon during the Second Battle of Ypres, in Belgium. He is best known for writing the famous war memorial poem "In Flanders Fields". McCrae died of pneumonia near the end of the war.
"In Flanders Fields" is a war poem in the form of a rondeau, written during the First World War by Canadian physician Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. He was inspired to write it on May 3, 1915, after presiding over the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres. According to legend, fellow soldiers retrieved the poem after McCrae, initially dissatisfied with his work, discarded it. "In Flanders Fields" was first published on December 8 of that year in the London-based magazine Punch.
It is one of the most popular and most quoted poems from the war. As a result of its immediate popularity, parts of the poem were used in propaganda efforts and appeals to recruit soldiers and raise money selling war bonds. Its references to the red poppies that grew over the graves of fallen soldiers resulted in the remembrance poppy becoming one of the world's most recognized memorial symbols for soldiers who have died in conflict. The poem and poppy are prominent Remembrance Day symbols throughout the Commonwealth of Nations, particularly in Canada, where "In Flanders Fields" is one of the nation's best-known literary works. The poem also has wide exposure in the United States, where it is associated with Veterans Day.
Author, artist and physician during World War I, John McCrae pens In Flanders Fields (starring Colm Feore as McCrae), a poem that is still recited across Canada on November 11th.

"John McCrae in Flanders Fields"
Stephen Robinson and Tracie Seedhouse Robinson Heritage Consulting and the Guelph Museums
John McCrae is a doctor, military officer and amateur poet whose poem In Flanders Fields would become one of the most widely known of the First World War. When we examine each of McCrae's six medals and the events that led to their issue, we begin to appreciate the great achievements of this Canadian during world conflict in the early 20th century.

A doctor of medicine, McCrae saw his friend killed in WW1 while in charge of a field hospital and he wrote this poem the next day in 1915. The poem has had a profound effect, being used in many fund-raising campaigns.
Buying a poppy isn't a political act. The purchase supports the families of soldiers killed or disabled in war.
This poem is not political, although people have tried to make it so, it is about young men killed in battle who, if they had voices, would ask for some purpose rather than they should have died in vain.
Isn't a noble purpose the only consolation for those whose loved ones are killed in battle?

Lieutenant Colonel John Alexander McCrae (November 30, 1872 – January 28, 1918) was a Canadian poet, physician, author, artist and soldier during World War I and a surgeon during the Second Battle of Ypres, in Belgium. He is best known for writing the famous war memorial poem "In Flanders Fields".
McCrae was born in McCrae House in Guelph, Ontario to Lieutenant-Colonel David McCrae and Janet Simpson Eckford; he was the grandson of Scottish immigrants. He attended the Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute and became a member of the Guelph militia regiment. The background of his family is military.
McCrae worked on his Bachelor of Arts at the University of Toronto in 1892–93. While there, he was a member of the Toronto militia, The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada. He was eventually promoted to Captain and commanded the company. He took a year off his studies at the university due to recurring problems with asthma.
Among his papers in the John McCrae House in Guelph is a letter he wrote on 18 July 1893 to Laura Kains while he trained as an artilleryman at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario. "...I have a manservant .. Quite a nobby place it is, in fact .. My windows look right out across the bay, and are just near the water’s edge; there is a good deal of shipping at present in the port; and the river looks very pretty."

"Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from falling hands we throw."
"In Flanders fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses, row on row."
"In Flanders Field the poppies bow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below"
"In Flanders fields the poppies blow"
"We shall not sleep, though poppies grow: In Flanders fields."
"In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place, and in the sky, The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard among the guns below."

This feature documentary profiles poet John McCrae, from his childhood in Ontario to his years in medicine at McGill University and the WWI battlefields of Belgium, where he cared for wounded soldiers. Generations of schoolchildren have recited McCrae’s iconic poem “In Flanders Fields,” but McCrae and Alexis Helmer—the young man whose death inspired the poem—have faded from memory. This film seeks to revive their stories through a vivid portrait of a great man in Canadian history.

"John McCrae in Flanders Fields"
Stephen Robinson and Tracie Seedhouse Robinson Heritage Consulting and the Guelph Museums
John McCrae is a doctor, military officer and amateur poet whose poem In Flanders Fields would become one of the most widely known of the First World War. When we examine each of McCrae's six medals and the events that led to their issue, we begin to appreciate the great achievements of this Canadian during world conflict in the early 20th century.

A doctor of medicine, McCrae saw his friend killed in WW1 while in charge of a field hospital and he wrote this poem the next day in 1915. The poem has had a profound effect, being used in many fund-raising campaigns.
Buying a poppy isn't a political act. The purchase supports the families of soldiers killed or disabled in war.
This poem is not political, although people have tried to make it so, it is about young men killed in battle who, if they had voices, would ask for some purpose rather than they should have died in vain.
Isn't a noble purpose the only consolation for those whose loved ones are killed in battle?

Robert Duvall Talks ‘Wild Horses’, ‘Lonesome Dove’, ‘The Searchers’, and More
When you’re offered the chance to sit down with Robert Duvall for almost twenty minutes, you clear your schedule. Which is exactly what I did at this year’s SXSW. Duvall was in Austin to promote his latest directorial effort, Wild Horses, which he also wrote. The film stars Duvall, James Franco, Josh Hartnett, Luciana Duvall, and Adriana Barraza and it’s about a Texas Ranger that puts her life in jeopardy when she tries to prove a powerful family's involvement in a boy's 15-year-old disappearance and murder. Texas Ranger Samantha Payne reopens a 15-year-old missing person case, and uncovers evidence that suggests that the boy was likely murdered on a ranch belonging to wealthy family man, Scott Briggs. When Scott’s estranged son unexpectedly returns home during the investigation, Samantha...

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

When you’re offered the chance to sit down with Robert Duvall for almost twenty minutes, you clear your schedule. Which is exactly what I did at this year’s SXSW. Duvall was in Austin to promote his latest directorial effort, Wild Horses, which he also wrote. The film stars Duvall, James Franco, Josh Hartnett, Luciana Duvall, and Adriana Barraza and it’s about a Texas Ranger that puts her life in jeopardy when she tries to prove a powerful family's involvement in a boy's 15-year-old disappearance and murder.
Texas Ranger Samantha Payne reopens a 15-year-old missing person case, and uncovers evidence that suggests that the boy was likely murdered on a ranch belonging to wealthy family man, Scott Briggs. When Scott’s estranged son unexpectedly returns home during the investigation, Samantha becomes even more convinced that the Briggs family was involved, and will stop at nothing to discover the truth about the boy’s death - even putting her own life in jeopardy.
During the extended video interview, Duvall talked about making Wild Horses, where the idea came from, the editing process and the lengths of the different cuts of the film, casting the film, the drawbacks of doing too many takes, his dislike for The Searchers, Terry Gilliam’s Don Quixote, his admiration for Orson Welles, Lonesome Dove, a Western based on The Day The Cowboys Quit which will appear on AMC as a mini-series, and so much more.

00:44: Where he got the idea for Wild Horses.
01:14: What he took from the original outline of the film.

07:17: Advice he would give to himself when he was starting as a young actor/director.
07:45: How the film Kes inspired him and provided the model he wanted to use when directing.
08:37: What his reactions are to the rise of shooting digital instead of on film.
08:55: “I don’t care if you’re shooting with a video, as long as I get the behavior.”
09:25: “Rehearsals are for pussies, two takes.” – Billy Bob Thornton
09:40: The drawbacks of doing too many takes.
10:30: Why he prefers to do just a few takes.
11:35: Which projects people talk to him about most when they come up to him.

In Fladers Fields
John Mccrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead, short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields, In Flanders fields
And now we lie in Flanders fields
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields in Flanders fields
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields, In Flanders fields
