Father Soldier Son

About This Movie

Father Soldier Son is a raw and intimate look into the complexities of military life and fatherhood. Leslye Davis captures the journey of Sgt. First Class Brian Eisch, whose severe injuries in Afghanistan lead to a profound transformation for him and his sons. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the emotional weight of each scene, which oscillates between moments of despair and inspiration. The performances, particularly from Eisch and his boys, feel strikingly genuine, like you're a fly on the wall in their struggles and triumphs. The documentary doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of war and healing; it’s this blend of love, loss, and legacy that really sets it apart in the genre.
