Synopsis

The film intertwines a conversation among three black Vietnam veterans: Dalton James, Preston Lay Jr. and Akmed Lorence, with scenes of the mobilization of April, 1967 to end a war conflict—a national event which occurred just one week after Martin Luther King’s speech Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence.
