✈️ Gate 24: Life Now Boarding – Unscripted Journeys

Episode 2 D-DAY 80 – A Grandson’s Journey (Part 1 of 2)

Hosted by Robert Neal Marshall

Sometimes, the journey we take—especially when we’re retracing the steps of those who came before us—becomes a way of understanding not just history, but ourselves.

This is a special edition of Gate 24.

A few of you may have caught parts of this when I posted clips last year…

In June 2024, I traveled to France to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, and to attend the premieres of a special documentary, Filmmakers on the Frontline, about the brave cameramen who recorded history in WWII.

But this wasn’t just an event—it was a deeply personal experience.

My grandfather, Jack Lieb, filmed the Normandy landings in rare color footage.

Eighty years later, I followed his path.

What happened along the way surprised me, moved me, and changed me.

I’d like to share this now, in two parts.

Come along with me for this unusual journey.
