REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Wed., Nov. 13, 2002
The creators and writers of the TV show China Beach - John Sacret Young and Austin screenwriter and Vietnam veteran Bill Broyles - will be on hand to kick off this new film series. In addition to presenting the pilot for the groundbreaking show whose focus was the everyday lives of average Americans serving in Vietnam, Broyles and Sacret will discuss the ideas behind the creation of the series. The film series will continue in 2003.
