Powerful documentary about a filmmaker asking his father about his experiences in Vietnam
14 March 2016
I saw this documentary at a film festival in Connecticut a few months back, and I thought this piece was incredibly powerful. Soren Sorenson gives us a truly personal perspective of the Vietnam war, through the lens of his growing relationship with his father. How many of us have had relatives who have fought in wars, and never took the time to ask them all the things we've wondered about their brave service? As an writer, I have learned that the more personal you become, the more universal themes reveal themselves, and this film is a perfect example of that idea. I also have to note that the film is scored beautifully. Highly recommend checking this out!
