EPISODE # 212 SOUL PATROL

Director J. M. Harper recorded Nov 2026, 29 minutes.

A 19 year old uniformed soldier carries an M-16 as he haunts the aisles of a Piggly Wiggly in the opening moments of J.M. Harper's powerful tale of war and consequences, Soul Patrol. Harper, who based his film on a memoir by veteran Ed Emanuel and the work of combat photographers, talks with Westdoc about his years long project; his extended phone calls with the author; making the film as money became tight, piece by piece; though, as Harper says, 'Nobody came back whole from Viet Nam.' The boys who fought the war, live with it still. Soul Patrol will be released on Veterans Day.
