Father Soldier Son

In FATHER SOLDIER SON, newspaper journalists and filmmakers Catrin Einhorn and Leslye Davis introduce Brian Eisch, a single parent stationed in Afghanistan. It's 2010. Brian -- athletic, enthusiastic, and independent -- is home in Wisconsin for a 2-week furlough. The loving dad spends quality time with his two sons, Isaac (12) and Joey (7). Returning to his unit, Brian is severely injured and comes home for good. With Isaac and Joey by his side, Brian begins a long, painful recovery. Only a few years later, a dire prognosis of what might happen does happen -- his leg must be amputated. In the interim years, despite his difficulties, Brian has met Maria, a loving single mom of 3 kids, only one of whom joins her to live with Brian and the boys. As the newly-formed family struggles to adjust and move forward, relationships are created and those relationships change. Then, in 2015, in the midst of their happiest times, the unthinkable happens, and the Eisch family must endure and survive another shattering tragedy.
