My Father's Brothers 1 hr 13 min 19 sec

Dir. Shawn Kelley, Charlotte, NC

Jack Kelley volunteered for Vietnam. As an army captain, he routinely led his company of 140 men on patrols in the jungles near Biên Hòa. Ill-conceived orders came down from higher command: On June 29, 1966, Capt. Kelley was to spread his platoons 1,000 meters apart in order to cover more area while looking for Vietcong forces. The film is a journey to understand what the filmmaker's father and seven survivors went through in 1966, and what they continue to go through today.
