    Other SIFF film tonight was Soul Patrol about a LRP unit of black soldiers in Vietnam. Good documentary, and it does an interesting thing to highlight that the war never truly leaves these vets. I also appreciated that they did put a brief bit in with the partners of these vets.

    As the daughter of a Vietnam vet I was pretty surprised by the way SOUL PATROL 📽️ focused on therapy for its participants instead of a true reckoning of the price they paid for going to war movieswetextedabout.com/soul-patrol-...
