The Ghost Army (documentary film) at the Firehouse Center for the Arts

     War, deception and art come together in Rick Beyer’s new documentary The Ghost Army, the astonishing true story of American G.I.s — many of whom would go on to have illustrious careers in art, design and fashion — who tricked the enemy with rubber tanks, sound effects, and carefully crafted illusions during the Second World War. A remarkable story of a top-secret mission that was at once absurd, deadly and amazingly effective.

    Rick Beyer is an award-winning documentary filmmaker, a bestselling author, and a long-time history enthusiast. He began his career as a radio and TV journalist in Chicago and Boston, and is a graduate of Dartmouth College.
