“LOVE UNDER FIRE: THE STORY OF BERTHA & POTTER PALMER” TO AIR ON WTTW11 CHICAGO


Corn Bred Films is proud to announce the television premiere of 
Love Under Fire: The Story of Bertha & Potter Palmer.  

In celebration of Women’s History Month, the half-hour documentary will air on Chicago’s premier public television station WTTW11 on Sunday, March 24, 2013 at 5:30 pm.  The program will re-air on Monday, March 25 at 4 pm and again on Wednesday, March 27 at 4 am.

Love Under Fire: The Story of Bertha and Potter Palmer tells the epic love story between young socialite Bertha Honoré and Potter Palmer, a self-made man 20 years her senior, whose passion for one another and the city they loved inspired the rebirth of Chicago after The Great Fire that left it in ruins. Because of their efforts, Chicago rose like a Phoenix from the ashes to become the world class city it is today.

“Whether it's 1893 or 2013, Bertha Palmer’s story is timeless, especially as we honor women and their contributions for Women’s History Month,” said Director and Producer Amelia Estelle Dellos. 

This film marks the first completed film for Chicago-based production company Corn Bred Films and was made in partnership with Tribeca Flashpoint Academy, Red Car Chicago, Chicago Filmworkers, and Chicago Recording Company.  The film was privately financed with assistance from the International Documentary Association.
