Netflix has landed a new trailer for their upcoming original documentary Father Soldier Son which lands soon. The intimate documentary from The New York Times follows one military family over the course of ten years, becoming an intergenerational exploration of the meaning of sacrifice, purpose, and American manhood in the aftermath of war. Father Soldier Son is directed by Leslye Davis and Catrin Einhorn.
Here is the official synopsis as provided by the streamer:
This intimate documentary from The New York Times follows a former platoon sergeant and his two young sons over almost a decade, chronicling his return home after a serious combat injury in Afghanistan. Originating as part of a 2010 project on a battalion’s yearlong deployment, reporters-turned-filmmakers Catrin Einhorn and Leslye Davis stuck with the story to trace the longterm effects of military service on a family. At once a verité portrait of ordinary people living in the shadow of active duty and a longitudinal survey of the intergenerational cycles of military service, FATHER SOLDIER SON is a profound and deeply personal exploration of the meaning of sacrifice, purpose, duty and American manhood in the aftermath of war.
Netflix will release the film on their platform on 17th July.
Here’s the trailer.
