documentary 2009 / US / 80 minutes / Format: DCP Directors: Lexy Lovell, Michael Uys Cast: Michael McPhearson, Perry Parks, Will Williams, Edward Wood, Jimmy Massey Print Source: Blue Sky Productions

Emmy award-winning The Good Soldier explores the long-term consequences of war on those who fought for America. The film features veterans telling their own stories via in-depth interviews with five veterans who served during World War II, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, or the Iraq War. Filmmakers Lexy Lovell and Michael Uys (Riding the Rails) pair the moving interviews with archival footage of the experience of war in a way that is sometimes shocking and always illuminating. Ronnie Scheib of Variety raved, “Skillfully interweaving the stories of five different servicemen from four different conflicts, “The Good Soldier” is a surprisingly nondoctrinaire docu about anti-war veterans that marches to its own drummer.”
