When a peaceful young man from the hard streets of gangland Los Angeles accidentally travels through time and witnesses his grandfather commit murder, he fights to change the past without becoming as violent as his neighborhood. Note: Series pilot for an hour-long drama.

What is at stake for the protagonist?? He may want to stop his grandfather from committing murder.? But in drama that’s not good enough.? He needs to stop the murder; he MUST undo the past — or else.

Have you read? or heard of “Achilles in Vietnam”? of “Odysseus in America” both by Jonathan Shay, staff shrink in the Veterans Department.? The books are based upon his therapeutic work with hundreds of Vietnam Vets who suffered acute, chronic PTSD.?? Not movie version vets, but the genuine vets. Strongly recommend.
IMHO, Vietnam is so yesterday.? Who cares anymore? Today’s veteran? and war movies are? set in the context of the endless wars in the Middle East.
What knowledge of the Vietnam War do most people living today have about that war??? What emotional connection do you expect a contemporary audience to have with either the situation or the characters??? What new insight, what unique perspective does this story bring to the plight of Vietnam Vets that hasn’t been explored in any of other Vietnam war era films?
