Synopsis
Jimmy in Saigon begins as a personal exploration into the mysterious death and radical life of Jimmy McDowell, an American 24-year-old Vietnam veteran who died as a civilian in Saigon in the 1970s. Director Peter McDowell was only five when Jimmy died, and in his quest to get to know his brother, he uncovers a hidden romance, new family ties and secrets surrounding Jimmy’s drug use and sexuality — a story that takes viewers to Vietnam, France and across the United States.
