What: In 2016, five Ball State Telecommunications students under the direction of Chris Flook, a Telecommunications Lecturer, began a two year-long effort to create a 30-minute documentary detailing DeLobbe’s experiences as a Belgian resistance fighter and soldier. The documentary’s trailer is available at https://vimeo.com/295936044.

The film is designed to educate new generations about life under German occupation during the war.
