My Vietnam Your Iraq is a feature length documentary that tells the stories of Vietnam veterans whose own children have served in Iraq. The stories look at the pride, challenges, fears, prejudices and bitterness that parents and children are faced with.
My Vietnam Your Iraq focuses on the human side of the military and looks at the lineage within military families. The stories describe how common themes resonate as older servicemen and woman reflect on their own service and the thoughts they have about their children's service. Vietnam veteran participants may agree or disagree with current policy; yet they all support their child's decision to enlist. Some interviewees discuss the myriad of emotions they have gone through while separated from their family.
Osgood specializes in documentary storytelling and production. His first long form documentary Trouble No More: The Making of a John Mellencamp Album won a regional Emmy in 2004 and is still available through Blockbuster and Netflix.
Ron Osgood is a Professor of Telecommunications
