Our new feature length documentary, "Edison 64," premieres in October.
"Edison 64" tells the story of the 64 students from Thomas Edison High School in Philadelphia that were killed during The Vietnam War. Thomas Edison high school had more students killed during the Vietnam War then any other high school in America. The long term collateral damage from these deaths was devastating and the impact of this devastation continues to this day.
Our film explores their urban blue collar childhoods and early obstacles that many of them endured, their time spent at Thomas Edison high school, their military service and subsequent deaths, the aftermath of their deaths on their families, communities, friends and service members that they served with in Vietnam, long term collateral damage to the aforementioned groups and their enduring legacy.
The narrative is driven by first person interviews and rife with archival material representative of their life and experiences. The film is being produced by the creative team that created "Remember The 27 Crusaders" that detailed the story of The 27 students of Father Judge High School in Northeast Philadelphia that died in service to their country during the Vietnam War.
