The film is the “true story of Dana Canedy’s fiancé, First Sergeant Charles Monroe King, who began to write what would become a two-hundred-page journal for his son in case he did not make it home from the war in Iraq. He was killed by a roadside bomb on October 14, 2006. His son, Jordan, was seven months old. The film has the son, all grown up, looking back on his father’s life.” I sounded the alarm on this film when test-screenings were turning disastrous late in the fall. The last movie Washington directed, “Fences,” ended up garnering him a Best Actor nomination, a Best Picture nod as well as a Best Supporting Actress win for Viola Davis. Contribute Hire me
