DESCRIPTION:"\rJimmy in Saigon explores the tragic death, radical life, and forbidden romance of a 24-year-old Vietnam veteran who died in Saigon in 1972. Featuring modern-day scenes shot in the United States, Vietnam, and France, as well as archival footage, the film is directed by U of I alumnus Peter McDowell, Jimmy’s youngest brother, with Dan Savage (University of Illinois Alum, 1988) as the executive producer.
