BEST DOCUMENTARY/INDEPENDENT LENS PBS - Be Good, Smile Pretty

Tracy Droz Tragos’ debut film is both a personal documentary and a film about the legacy of the Vietnam War. Tragos’ father died in Vietnam when she was only three years old. The film documents her quest to learn who her father was, and to break through "the wall of pained silence" constructed, partly for Tracy’s own protection, by her mother. The film illuminates one of the less well-known legacies of the Vietnam war: the 20,000 Americans who lost fathers there.
