We were glad to see that an article on Donut Dollie Dorset Anderson and our documentary was published in the Washington Times (DC). Interest has certainly been growing and spreading out across the country. It’s exciting to see the story of the Donut Dollies reaching more and more people, which we hope you’ll agree is a story that needs to be documented and shared.

Here’s a great Sunday feature article on Donut Dollie Dorset Anderson and our documentary project. Paul Hopkins wrote this article for the Berkshire Eagle, one of the larger newspapers in Western Massachusetts.
This article provides an interesting look into why Dorset chose to go to Vietnam and what she experienced during her year of service on behalf of the Red Cross.
Thanks to Paul for his interest in the story of the Donut Dollies and in helping spread the word on what we hope to achieve through our documentary.
Another terrific article about our project and The Donut Dollies. This one by Doug Imbrogno of the Charleston Gazette.
It’s also being shared and reposted to a lot of other websites.
Thanks, Doug, for the interest and support and for helping spread the word about the Donut Dollies and our documentary!

Here’s a great recent article on PBS’s Next Avenue website, by journalist, writer and Vietnam veteran Doug Bradley that talks about the Donut Dollies, our documentary and our reasons for doing it.
We really appreciate Doug’s support and the fact that he was able to publish the article while our Kickstarter campaign was still going on, which definitely helped more folks hear about us and get involved.

The Daily Hampshire Gazette did a great piece on Donut Dollie Dorset Anderson and our documentary project this summer. (link below).
Writer Steve Pfarrer and photographer Carol Lollis were both terrific and very interested in the project. We’ll definitely let them know how things proceed as we gear up to return to Vietnam and film this fall!
