Jimmy in Saigon (2022)
Amazing and Moving
30 October 2023
A well-done and thought-provoking documentary including some truly unlikely discoveries. Every layer that Peter McDowell peels away reveals more about himself and about Jimmy, his brother who died far away when he was 5 years old. Peter actually found and interviewed the doctor who had treated his brother 50 years before and signed the death certificate. The doctor remembered Jimmy. Brother Jimmy and his death were never discussed in the family, and Peter wanted to find out why. The story is so moving that Peter and Jimmy's mother, who died last summer at the age of 99, could not watch this documentary in any form, though she is extensively interviewed in it. You will be thinking about "Jimmy in Saigon" for weeks.
