They fought on a battlefield as brutal as any other and more deadly than most wars in the history of the United States. The only difference: these veterans fought at a time when the United States was deeply divided on one of the most opposed wars in history. Vietnam veterans in Michigan - the state among the highest in lives lost to Vietnam - will receive the honor they are due with the film premiere of 'Our Vietnam Generation.' The documentary focuses on struggles experienced by Michigan Vietnam veterans who received a much different homecoming than other generations, set to the backdrop of a culture at a time marked by music, drugs, ideals of love and political upheaval. The film is directed and produced by nine-time Emmy award winner Keith Famie of Visionalist Entertainment Productions. The new film will feature Michigan veterans who became successful business and community leaders and others who still suffer from haunting memories or wounds. Further, the documentary will shed light on the families of these veterans, including those who still hold yearly vigils in hopes the remains of MIAs will still be found.
