Based on the 1991 American Book Award winner of the same
name, Viet Nam War Veteran Charley Trujillo and Producer
Sonya Rhee created the first documentary to recount the
harrowing experience of a generation of Chicanos who
fought in Viet Nam. Raised in the San Jouquin Valley,
their first journey away from home was to the war torn
rice paddies of Southeast Asia. Profoundly changed by
the experience, the "Soldados" returned home with a new
concept of themselves and their country and of the
particular challenges facing them as Chicanos.
