Through reading Ellis Dungan’s Autobiography “A Guide to Adventure” which he co-authored with Wheeling author Barbara Smik [one of the daughters of country music singing legend Doc Williams and Aunt to Wheeling Mayor Andy McKenzie], Mr. Bali realized that Ellis Dungan had given his collection of films, photographs and papers to the West Virginia State Archives. Working with the staff of the State Archives, Mr. Bali found many of the materials he needed to make his documentary. He also searched archives in India and Malaysia to find other archival materials.
