It Was A War:
The Vietnam Conflict. Make no mistake. IT WAS A WAR. Ask any Vietnam Vetâ¦any Vietnamese citizen. IT WAS A WAR unearths new footage shot by young American GIâs in the heat of battle. Forty years later, a Vietnamese soldier and VC POW, stands before the 58,000 names on the wall, in gratitude. Your senses feel this ârite of passageâ from boys to brothersâ¦a story of sacrifice, pride and gratitude. Make no mistake. IT WAS A WAR.
A Time for Honor: Stories From Vietnam:
Each of the nearly three million men and women who served in Vietnam tells a unique story. Each one tells their truth about Vietnam. These five stories, from one small area of rural Illinois take place during 1968, the height of Americaâs involvement in the war.
BabyDaddy:
Sixteen year-old Bernadette is beyond embarrassed by her ill Vietnam Veteran father's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and will do anything to conceal his identity from her friend who visits her house one day. When Bernadette's plan to tip toe in goes awry, she is forced to cope with her lifelong struggle to embrace her father.
Where Life is:
As Operation Iraqi Freedom enters its 6th year, the domestic legacy is now the return home for those who have been injured during their service. Where Life Is follows three severely injured veterans pursuing sport as a means of rehabilitation and readjustment to civilian life. The film follows these veterans, as they face the realities of making the Paralympics, swimming in the ocean, and riding a bicycle again for the first time; as well as when they face their demons and moments of despair. This is a privileged look into their lives - a portrait of their courage to overcome their injuries with the help of friends, family, and sport.
