An interview with director Peter Jones and producer Taylor Vracin-Harrell about their moving new documentary Fortunate Sons on PBS. The film is an intimate, unguarded portrait about friendship, love, loss, redemption, and the lasting bonds between the men of Los Angeles' Harvard School for Boys, class of ’74?   While The Beatles rocked a generation, and the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy shocked the nation – seventy-two 12 year-old boys entered the 7th grade at Harvard School for Boys, an elite, private military academy. Born into privilege and groomed to lead, they spent the next 50 years individually navigating their place in the world and the continuous cultural revolutions taking place around them, only to find themselves reconnecting by Zoom five decades later during the isolating months of the Covid pandemic. What began as casual video calls between former classmates, quickly evolved into rare and vulnerable conversations about their dreams and fears, family dysfunction, addiction, ambition, failure, and achievement. Beneath these conversations they collectively explored larger narratives about friendship, masculinity, privilege and mental health.      Reality Life with Kate Casey What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecaseySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
