Just Like Me follows Vietnam veteran Ron Osgood’s quest to document stories from all sides of the war, uncovering untold personal accounts that shy away from combat and politics and instead focus on soldiers who were artists, musicians, or demonstrated empathy and respect towards the enemy.

A Q&A with director Ron Osgood and subject Phil Zook will follow the screening.
"Osgood exposes us to the many forgotten or untold stories of the war and brings them together in one of the most outstanding short documentaries I have ever seen. ... His meticulous eye for the humanity of people really shines." — Video Librarian
