Academy Awards nominated film:
"REGRET
TO INFORM"
(Vietnam/USA) 74'
Director/Producer: Barbara Sonneborn
On her twenty-fourth birthday, Barbara Sonneborn received a knock on her
door from a United States Army soldier and heard the words "We regret
to inform you...." Her husband Jeff had been killed by a mortar in
Vietnam. She received a box containing Jeff's dog tags still encrusted
with his blood. Twenty years later, Sonneborn embarks on a journey through
the country where he fought and died. Woven into her personal odyssey
are interviews with American and Vietnamese widows from both sides of
the conflict, who speak openly about the men they loved and how war changed
their lives forever. Academy Awards nominated film in 1999. (Filmmaker
