A new documentary will feature Michael Dorn<\/strong> as narrator.<\/p>\n

The Good Giants<\/em> will be the story of Ivan J. Houston<\/strong>, a “Buffalo Soldier” who fought in World War II.<\/p>\n

Funded by an ongoing Kickstarter<\/em> campaign, The Good Giants<\/em> follows Houston, who fought in the segregated U.S. Army 92nd Infantry Division in Italy.<\/p>\n

In the last two years of the war, Houston and his fellow Buffalo Soldiers “liberated Tuscan villages while fighting under segregated, discriminatory conditions in the U.S. Army.”<\/p>\n

“Here we were freeing people, and we were still second class citizens in our own country,” said Houston. “That was just the way the army was.”<\/p>\n

The residents of Tuscany haven’t forgotten the heroics of the Buffalo Soldiers. “Mr. Ivan,” wrote Flavio Grossi<\/strong>. “I felt to write a few lines to prove the immense love and eternal gratitude that I have towards the American people, and especially the Buffalo Soldiers.”<\/p>\n

Dorn will narrate the film, and for those who donate $500 to the Kickstarter<\/em> campaign, will offer up to twenty-five donors his voice on a fifteen-second outgoing voicemail message (subject to good taste) for the donor.<\/p>\n
