About this movie

Fortunate Sons is a feature-length documentary about the 1974 graduating class of the Harvard School, then a private, military school for the sons of the Los Angeles elite. Born into privilege and groomed to lead, they entered 7th grade of this all-male, military school in the cultural watershed year of 1968. An American journey about friendship, life, loss, and redemption - culminating with the class’s 50th reunion in 2024 - it resonates powerfully with the developing national conversation about the mental health of boys and men, the cultural evolution of masculinity, and the power of connection and vulnerability.
