6204191417001 "Stars and Stripes" has been the newspaper of record for the US military for more than a century. A question of money recently put the continuation of that legacy in jeopardy. Now, a filmmaker hopes his documentary on Stars and Stripes will become more of a call to action.
When Steven Barber first came up with the idea for his film, The World's Most Dangerous Paper Route, he believed it would be wildly popular especially among service members worldwide. He did not expect it to play a role in keeping the newspaper's presses printing.
"It's about being connected to home because these guys a lot of time once they're gone, they're gone they can't make phone calls they can't send emails and all they have is Stars and stripes," Barber told CBN News.
