Charlie Horse Productions (CHP) is a production company created and led by Gregory S. Cooke. CHP produced the documentaries Invisible Warriors: African American Women in World War II and Choc’late Soldiers from the USA.
Invisible Warriors is a critically acclaimed, feature-length documentary that illuminates the experiences of 600,000 “Rosie the Riveters,” pioneers who courageously triumph over racism, sexism and classism to create job opportunities in industry and government for themselves and future generations of African American women. Invisible Warriors is an inaugural recipient of the Better Angels/Lavine/Ken Burns Fellowship (2020), and also received the Congressional Black Caucus, Veterans Braintrust Award (2019).
Choc’late Soldiers from the USA tells the “hidden story” of 140,000 African American men and women who form an unexpected bond with British civilians during World War II. Choc’late Soldiers received the first ever Congressional Black Caucus Veterans Braintrust Award for film in 2014, and won film awards at Indiefest and Bakersfield, 2013.
