Kim Galway

Kim spent nearly 30 years in Radio and Television Broadcasting in front of and behind the camera and microphone. Raised with passionate and intimate exposure to WWII, as relayed to her by "Bumpa," her Grandfather, George G. Blackburn, "Victory Journey" is part of the fulfillment of a promise she made to him on his deathbed in 2006. This promise was to help ensure the stories of the sacrifices and lessons he wrote about in his series of award-winning books* would be passed down to future generations.

She relocated to Florida from Toronto, Canada, focused on recovering from a debilitating vertigo condition, which also halted all planning for Victory Journey, in 2015. With the support of her family, friends in Canada and Florida and her faith, she has built back her health and strength beyond what she dared hope for.

The Journey now means more than ever.

Kim has received numerous scholarships and awards including two from the Sarasota Film Society's Barbara Caras Scholarship; Cinematography at the 20 Hour Film Contest at the Sarasota Film Festival; Audience Favorite at the Suncoast Film Festival and 3rd Place Winner for the 2019 Sarasota Film Commission Pitch Strong Conference.

What Drives Us

The incredible bravery, of millions of young, WWII Allies, and their will to press on through some of the worst battles in recorded history, so pitifully outgunned by the heavily and better-equipped enemy, are the Victory Journey crew's inspiration -- and our goal as film-makers is to leave the viewer inspired by what can be achieved in the name of what is RIGHT, through sheer determination, courage and cooperation.

This Canadian and American born team, with additional helpers in Europe, remind us of what "allied" shared efforts can achieve. And with that in mind, we invite -- with loving, open arms -- any interest from groups or individuals who join our "meeting of the minds" with their own valuable inspiration and support.
