Whispers of the VIetnam War

Whispers of the Vietnam War is a documentary about my father's experience as a soldier in the Laos Wars of the late 1960s. I wanted to send a message that war is something that repeats itself if it is forgotten. By making this movie I hope that other young people will know that war is a horrible thing and that by keeping their language and listening to their parents and grandparents that they might remember why we ended up here and why we should never go to war again.
