ABOUT THE FILM–
American Sons is a moving feature documentary that explores the enduring impact of war through the story of Cpl. Jorge “JV” Villarreal Jr., a young Marine from Texas who was killed in action in Iraq. Through intimate family archives, raw combat footage, and deeply personal interviews with JV’s fellow Marines, the film reveals how his legacy continues to shape those he left behind.
At its core, American Sons is a story of family, brotherhood, and healing — shedding light on the invisible wounds carried by veterans and the loved ones who support them. It's a tribute to service and sacrifice, and a call for connection across generations and communities.
Whether you're a veteran, a military family member, or someone who believes in the power of storytelling to bring people together — this is a film that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
