New Beginnings (Les recommencements)

Native American from Northern California, Al Moon lives on his tribe’s reservation, yet he remains solitary. Surrounded by daily violence and haunted by new ecological threats affecting his people, Al feels the weight of buried anxieties resurfacing from his time in Vietnam. Driven by an urge to confront his past, he embarks on a cross-country journey to reconnect with the men from his battalion whom he hasn’t seen since the war. Along the way, Al meets a diverse range of people with whom he engages in deep dialogues about contemporary America, uncovering shifting perspectives on friendship, conflict, and identity. As he moves closer to a long-hidden truth, Al nears a revelation that has haunted him for decades.
