Gold Star Children is a documentary feature film that takes an intimate look at American children who've lost a parent to war. The film
follows the parallel journey of two generations; today's war orphans heal alongside the now adult-children survivors of the Vietnam war.
Director Mitty Griffis Mirrer's father was killed in Vietnam 16 hours after she was born. Through Gold Star Children Mirrer weaves
together an inspiring narrative told through the eyes of a young girl whose father was killed in Iraq and a child of the Vietnam war who
grew up suffering parental loss in silence.
The once hushed Vietnam era children reach out to today's war orphans. Gold Star children of all ages benefit from witnessing each
other's grief. A story of hope, the film explores the redemptive power of sharing and the resilience of our nation's Gold Star children, who
continue to carry the greatest burden of our country's wars.
