She started her career at the BBC and moved over to PBS where she became known for her documentaries, including Vizcaya, West Encounters East and Parkland, Healing a Community and a Nation. Parkland went on to film festivals around the country, winning best Florida Film in 2019. Recently Linda and her partner Joel Kaplan spent time in Lebanon covering a tragic boat wreck and recovery which became the basis for their documentary short entitled The Sons of Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides being a published author, which includes her book The Kennedy Family Album, Linda&#8217;s recent work can be found on TLC with Return to Amish, Discovery Channel&#8217;s Kiddie Kai and PBS&#8217;s Medical Stories where she acts as Supervising Producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joel Kaplan is the ultimate storyteller with his camera. His images, interviews, and intuition are all creative tools he engages to deliver a product that goes far beyond the ordinary. He believes it is the human element that communicates the heart and soul of every narrative. Mr. Kaplan shines as a director of photography on many national documentaries for PBS, including West Encounters East, Fragility of Tradition, the New American Crucible and most recently, Parkland, Healing a Community and a Nation. His work ventures beyond public television to include clients such as National Geographic Channel, Discovery Channel, HGTV, Hallmark Channel, VH-1, MTV, ABC sports, CNBC, TNN and the Travel Channel. Mr. Kaplan, co-owner of Daydream Productions, is the recipient of ten Emmy Awards and was recently awarded the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Silver Circle Award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Directed by Linda Corley, Joel Kaplan Country of Origin United States Runtime 35:45 Category Documentary Deep beneath the sea lies a boat wreck filled with the remains of once hopeful refugees on their way to freedom.
