In a livestream program intersecting military affairs and journalism, the Yale Veterans Association (YVA) hosted a behind-the-scenes discussion with the filmmakers of “Father Soldier Son.” The Netflix documentary follows the life of Army veteran Brian Eisch and his family over a 10-year period, chronicling the struggles and challenges they faced along the way, including his protracted recovery from a combat injury.
Organized in partnership with the Yale Alumni Association and supported by the Yale Alumni Journalism Association, the event was kicked off by Adrian Bonenberger ’02, president of the YVA, who served with Eisch in Afghanistan, when they deployed with the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division.
