In March 1967, Lt. Larry Rottmann deployed to Vietnam with the 25th Infantry Division. For the next 30 years, like so many other Americans and Vietnamese, he struggled to make sense of that war. Seeking answers and some semblance of personal peace, he returned to Southeast Asia 19 times.
Voices from Vietnam documents his journey from war to reconciliation. The film juxtaposes historical and contemporary images with live music by Raymond Castrey and narration by Rottmann. The film gives “voice” to the many people he met and the events he experienced during his quest.
This project is a joint venture between OTC, DU and MSU. A Movie shot and produced at Drury University.
