It was a gripping hour that traveled along with U, §. Quakers who sailed their 50- foot ketch loaded with $10,000 worth of medical supplies for the Red Cross into North Vietnam. “Voyage of the Phoenix” had all the sus— pense of a film chiller. Showing events of the trip in chronological order, viewers at various stages were led through a series of unplanned, unrehearsed high points: Namely, the Quakers’ attempts to get passport val- idation in Hong Kong, their own fears that they would be stepped by the U. §. Seventh Fleet in the Tonkin Gulf and what events would occur as they neared the North Viet- namese shore. Most of the Quakers aboard, from the cap~ fain Earle Reynolds whom Faun contacted before any of the other media representa~ tives, to the sole woman, Betty Boardman, . were interviewed at vorious stages of the trip and fleshed out Foun’s narration viv— idly. Without camera tricks or glib narre= tion or even over—slick editing. “Voyage of the Phoenix’? was a documentary devoted to a matter of principle that any network could show to strong effect. {t took no stance on the wor, and in his narration Faun admitted that he wasn’t a Quaker and felt no religious kinship with — them. ‘Voyage of the Phoenix’’ was an experience, event TV at its best, Reprinted by permission _ —_—_ A QVARCR ALLIU { A Quoker Action Group wa iformed i in July,; 1966 by individual members, of the Society: of Friends from many area df the United: States.
