Faith of Our Fathers—a moving story of faith and friendship in time of war, and for generations—premieres nationwide July 1 as America commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War.  

A Downes Brothers production in association with Pure Flix, Faith of Our Fathersstars Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Downes, David A.R. White, Candace Cameron Bure, Rebecca St. James and Si Robertson, Duck Dynasty’s “Uncle Si,” who is a Vietnam veteran. Carey Scott directs. Pure Flix and Samuel Goldwyn Films distribute.

“From Vietnam battlefields to emotional battlefields of today, Faith of Our Fathersshows the power of faith in God to transform lives,” Producer Bobby Downes said. “Uplifting and encouraging, Faith of Our Fathers is an important journey—one that brings honor and, hopefully, healing to vets and families affected by their great sacrifices.”

“So many young men who went to Vietnam never came home,” said Robertson said. “Hey, they left families behind who never got to know those great guys. This story is about two sons on a road trip to learn about their dads. It’s a story about Vietnam, but it happens in all wars, and I’m proud to be part of a film that helps bring peace to people.” 

The story begins in 1969. With the Vietnam War raging, two young fathers report for duty—a man of great faith and a doubtful cynic. A quarter-century later, their sons, Wayne and John Paul (David A.R. White and Kevin Downes), meet as strangers.

Guided by letters handwritten from their fathers from the battlefield, they embark on an unforgettable journey to The Wall—the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Along the way, they discover the devastation of war cannot break the love of a father for his son.

“Faith of Our Fathers is coming out at a strategically important time in American history as our nation is currently commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War,” said Chaplain (Maj. Gen.) Doug Carver, USA-Retired, 22nd Army Chief of Chaplains (2007-2011).
