Synopsis

Through gripping first-person accounts and pristinely preserved archival footage, including the soldiers' own home movies and personal audio tapes, BROTHERS IN WAR recounts the harrowing combat experiences of the men of Charlie Company - one of the last American combat infantry companies to be drafted, trained and sent to fight together in Vietnam. In 1967 the boys of Charlie Company went to war in the Mekong Delta, the homeland of the Viet Cong, and entered a foreign land of murderous heat, unforgiving jungle and a new age of guerrilla warfare. This "band of brothers" journeyed from boot camp to combat and, for the lucky ones, back home - experiencing their horror, their pain, their misery, their happiness and, above all, their camaraderie together. Now, nearly 50 years later, they're uniting once again to share their stories of courage under fire with the world. Inspired by the book "The Boys of '67: Charlie Company's War in Vietnam" by Andrew Wiest.
