neutral · AI labelView post →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.
