From deep behind enemy lines, a hidden chapter of American military history is uncovered, prompting the question of whether reckoning with the past can bring peace to those who lived it. The Vietnam War’s first Black special operations team reunites for one last time to tell their incredible story. As SOUL PATROL delves into the identity crises and racial tension these young soldiers faced in Vietnam, director J.M. Harper combines striking footage filmed by the soldiers themselves along with excellent recreations and astonishing first-person accounts of survival, harrowing escapes, and the shared experiences that have kept this troop bonded for life.
Winner of the US Documentary Directing Award at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.
