“My Father's Vietnam”, an 80 minute documentary film, will be screened on Thursday, March 24th, Shelburne Town Hall at 6:30 PM, admission is free. The film has been produced in conjunction with the book “Calm Frenzy: One Man's Vietnam War, by Loring M. Bailey, Jr. Information on both can be found at http://www.calmfrenzy.com. There will be opportunity for discussion.

"My Father's Vietnam" is a powerful and gripping story---a worthy testament to complex lives and impossible choices made by young people coming of age while the world was in flames. These accidental heroes---soldiers, resisters, the women who waited and worried---emerge as fully human beings thrust into situations not of their making, struggling to make sense and create meaning out of chaos. This is a dazzling documentary and a necessary addition to the chronicle of the Viet Nam years."
Bill Ayers, author of Fugitive Days
