My Father's Vietnam

In my opinion, history is best learned through personal experience and the stories told by those that directly experienced the events. This movie perfectly blends the history, emotion, and impact of the Vietnam War. This is a film that has great relevance today as the world is torn by the threat of combat and the impact it has on families around the globe. Thought provoking and emotionally charged, I applaud all that made the effort to make this film. The intimate audience that viewed the film this evening were obviously moved as there was complete silence during the film and for several minutes afterward until thoughtful conversation took place. This is a story that needed to be told and warrants being heard by those old enough to have lived through the Vietnam era and those that are younger but concerned about what shaped the lives of those that came before them.
