WHAT:
Filmmakers and stars of the stirring new drama FAITH OF OUR FATHERS (watch trailer) join Duck Dynasty’s cast members at the film’s Monroe-area premiere for a “reverse red carpet” as local veterans walk the red carpet to cheering crowds and military fanfare.
FAITH OF OUR FATHERS, about Vietnam’s continuing effects in U.S. families, bypasses a traditional Hollywood premiere to honor all military personnel. The unusual red-carpet events roll out in West Monroe; Birmingham, Ala.; Fresno, Calif.; Sioux Falls, S.D.; Simi Valley; and Dallas.

The film marks the 50th anniversary of the start of the Vietnam War. Pure Flix and Samuel Goldwyn Films distribute.

SYNOPSIS:
In 1969 as the Vietnam War rages, two young fathers report for duty: one a man of great faith, the other a cynic. A quarter century later their sons, Wayne and John Paul (David A.R. White and Kevin Downes), meet as strangers. Guided by their father’s battlefield letters, the sons embark on a life-altering journey to The Wall—the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. On the way, they discover that war’s devastation cannot break a father’s love for his son. FAITH OF OUR FATHERS—A Story of Fatherhood. A Journey of Brotherhood.
