Regret To Inform
Directed by
Barbara Sonneborn
On January 1, 1968, Barbara Sonneborn's husband, Jeff Gurvitz, left to fight in Vietnam. Eight weeks later, on February 29, 1968, he crawled out of a foxhole during a mortar attack to rescue his radio operator and was killed. Sonneborn learned of her husband's death on her 24th birthday. We regret to inform you...read the official notice. Twenty years after Jeff's death, Sonneborn went back to Vietnam - to the place where her husband was killed. Knowing that hundreds of thousands of other women had shared her grief, she made them - both American and Vietnamese war widows - part of her story. Filled with extraordinary archival footage from the war, breathtaking visions of modern day Vietnam, and heart-wrenching stories from a number of women who share Sonneborn's story, REGRET TO INFORM is a journey into the heart and soul of war.

This was a magnificent movie that made me angry. Why does this make me angry? This war and all the wars since W W 2 were not " just" wars; (and even that is in question) they were instigated by the super wealthy who collect the money while these poor kids and innocent civilians die on both sides. You could make a documentary about Iraq, just change the faces..same stuff .( 50 thousand years ago a mutation occurred and the human brain developed a cerebral cortex , it is absent in many brains today..This is true) However with people like you there is hope

A powerful and beautiful film about the human and emotional casualties suffered by all pull into the insatiable gravity of war.
