Survivors! Budget: $1M - $5M | Documentary Survivors is a documentary that will inspire, move and resonate with any audience it encounters. It is a story of hardship, love, loss, and family. The project is rooted in the story of 2 World War II veterans who, through fate and incredibly challenging lives found and loved each other. Matilda: Although there are several schools of thought, Matilda as originally used is of Teutonic origins and means Mighty Battle Maiden, referring to the women in camps during the Thirty-Year Wars in Europe. Later this more commonly referred to the great army coats or blankets that soldiers rolled into a swag and tossed over their shoulders while marching.
