"Regret to Inform" is a powerful testimony against war. It exposes the U.S. and its crimes against the Vietnamese people and culture on a very personal level. It also gives insight into the psychological trauma and death inflicted upon young American men by a government that trained and used them as killing machines in an unjust war of aggression.

One of many American war widows takes a trip to Vietnam on the 25th anniversary of her young husband's death. She's in search of some understanding and closure; and she seeks out Vietnamese war widows who share the experience of losing a husband. What she finds is a whole generation of Vietnamese people who saw villages burned to the ground, loved ones tortured before their eyes, children and livestock attacked by gunfire, thick jungles destroyed by agent orange...All of the women interviewed gave voice to the horror and suffering of war, and opened their hearts to the women and people on the other side of the war. The testimonies from the Vietnamese women were especially poignant. They welcomed their American guests with much warmth, but you could still feel the pain and residual anger behind their smiles as they spoke of their hopes for healing and peace.

As Vietnam veterans, we know it's a matter of life and death that people never forget the scope of the destruction that the U.S. unleashed on the small peasant nation of Vietnam. "Regret to Inform" is a film that carves this legacy in stone. We hope that all who view this important documentary will take its lessons to heart and oppose military recruitment of our sons and daughters, as well as U.S. military intervention today, as it continues to take the lives of our sisters and brothers around the world.
