Fortunate Sons

Please join arms with our class and make a tax-deductible contribution today! Information on payment options is below.

In 1968 – while The Beatles rocked a generation, and the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy shocked the nation – sixty-five 12 year-old boys entered the 7th grade at the elite, all-male, military Harvard School for Boys in Los Angeles - the young men of “the biggest generation” being groomed to lead American society.

These are the real-life stories of American men who grew up together and, now, as they prepare to celebrate their 50th high school reunion, lean into the truths of their journeys with humor and vulnerability. Love and loss. Harmony and dysfunction. Challenges and successes. Pain and healing.

Fortunate Sons explores the challenges that all Americans have confronted as the world around them changed more rapidly and in more ways than anyone expected.

Together, we can finish this film and bring its story of humanity and healing to the world.
