Join a man’s quest to explore the mysterious death and radical life of a brother he hardly knew. The filmmaker was five when his brother Jimmy, a Vietnam veteran, died a civilian in Saigon leaving behind questions no one could answer. Decades later, Peter McDowell sets out on a deeply personal journey to investigate his brother’s drug use and sexuality. What unfolds is a rich story of hidden love, buried truths, unexpected family and the enduring power of connection.
