Five years after their previous film Ailleurs, Partout, which premiered at the 11th Ethnofest, the festival’s beloved directors return with their new documentary, which premiered in the Burning Lights Competition at Visions du Réel. A Vietnam veteran living on his tribal reservation in Northern California, Al Moon, faces resurgent war fears as violence and environmental destruction escalate. His cross-country journey to confront his past and his battalion becomes a portrait of a wounded nation searching for healing.
