Allen Bell, Program Director for Contemporary Arts New Initiatives, interviews Adrian Belic
Ed Artis, James Laws an Walt Ratterman are three middle-aged men whose idea of adventure is taking desperately needed food and medicine into the worlds most forbidding places, often at the front lines of war. Following the motto of High Adventure and Service to Humanity, their specialty is going where death from landmines, bullets or bombs is as frequent as death from hunger, disease or the elements. One of the most honored documentaries in recent years, Beyond the Call inspires as it entertains. Accompanying the film on the Southern Circuit Tour, Adrian Belic is a member of the Film Arts Foundation and the International Documentary Association. He is a graduate of the University of Southern California. Born in the U.S. and raised in Chicago, he spent many summers during his childhood behind the Iron Curtain in Eastern Europe with his extended family from Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia.
