Pearl Harbor Documentary: "One Last Goodbye"

New Orleans native and 30-year resident of Pensacola, Liz Watkins of Watkins Productions is proud to release “Pearl Harbor, One Last Goodbye”.
 
After retiring from video production in 2006, Liz Watkins was asked to produce this documentary. Without hesitation, she said, “yes” and a 14 month journey began.
 
Liz graduated from Pensacola Junior College in 1984 with an AA in Video Production and The University of West Florida in 1987 with a BA in Communication Arts.
 
While in college, Liz worked at the PBS affiliate WSRE-TV. Included in her studies at UWF were two documentaries; one in Nicaragua during the civil war in March of 1986 and a second in Cuba in December 1986.
 
While in Nicaragua, Liz was taken captive by the Sandinista's. She was interrogated for 2 hours and her camera was taken apart. She was released unharmed but that event, to this day, is vivid in her memories.
 
Liz's career has included; shooting for Oprah in NW Florida, chasing OJ Simpson on a Panama City Golf Course after his acquital, following Britney Spears around Destin, spending a day with the rock band KISS for Austrian TV, covering breaking news in the Northwest FL/South Alabama area, working on several documentaries and riding out Katrina in Biloxi, MS with Jim Acosta at that time a correspondent with CBS news.
 
After covering Katrina from August 2005 through March 2006 from Bayou La Batre' to New Orleans, Liz decided to walk away from production and she started buying real estate.
In June 2011, Holly Shelton called Liz and asked her to produce a documentary on several Pearl Harbor Survivors going back to Pearl for One Last Goodbye.
 
Liz assembled a crew, bought new video gear and took off running.
