In 1970, three young Texas soldiers reflected on life after war in the award winning film, I Was a Soldier. Over forty years later, their story continues.
A year after returning from the frontline in the Vietnam war David, Dennis and Lamar shared their struggle to return to normal life in Michael Grigsby’s critically acclaimed and award winning I Was a Soldier that became ‘a classic’ film in the history of documentary.
We Went to War sees Grigsby return to the stories of those once young Americans, now aged and scarred by lives lived far too brutally, far too young, poignantly echoing the experiences of those men and women struggling to reclaim such familiarity now, in the aftermath of Iraq and as the war in Afghanistan rages on.
