Synopsis

Soul Patrol uncovers a hidden chapter of American military history, following the men of Company F, 51st Infantry, an elite Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol unit operating deep behind enemy lines. With unprecedented access to this once-secretive group of African-American veterans, director J.M. Harper reconstructs their journey with an immediacy rarely seen in Vietnam War storytelling. As the men reflect on their experiences, the film interrogates the contradictions of fighting for freedom abroad while facing inequality at home. Soul Patrol is not just a war story, but a reckoning – an intimate portrait of survival, memory, and the enduring cost of war on those asked to fight it. YSFF FESTIVAL BADGES ACCEPTED
