MY FATHER'S VIETNAM - THE STORY OF PETER SORENSEN DOCUMENTARY FILM

Cinemavixion Review

Soren Sorensen's documentary, 'My Father's Vietnam,' offers a deeply personal and poignant exploration of the lingering impact of the Vietnam War. The film centers on Peter Sorensen and two of his comrades, Loring Bailey and Glenn Rickert, who tragically lost their lives in the conflict. The filmmaker, Soren Sorensen, was profoundly affected by witnessing his father's grief at the Vietnam Memorial during his childhood. This early experience eventually spurred him to delve into his father's wartime experiences and the enduring psychological burdens carried by veterans. Through intimate conversations with Peter Sorensen, as well as the friends and family of those lost, the documentary gives voice to the silent struggles that persist decades after the war's end. 'My Father's Vietnam' serves not only as a tribute to sacrifice but also as a powerful encouragement for audiences to engage in meaningful dialogues about service and remembrance with the veterans in their own lives.
