      Tony Asankomah GhMovieFreak The story it details is emotionally moving and motivational as well. In the end, this documentary film reminds us to cherish our loved ones and hold them close.  Rated: 3/5 Feb 10, 2023 Full Review Alejandro Turdo Hoy Sale Cine The Final 19 takes Hefel’s experience as a prisoner of war in Vietnam to shine a light over a never healing wound in American history, and by doing so it teaches us the real value of freedom and the importance of cherishing every aspect of our lives.

      Tim B I'm jaded but the main takeaway of this piece is the connection it makes in Dan Hefel sharing his story so candidly and authentically. It makes you feel for all the soldiers and their families who weren't able to heal because of how they we treated when they came from, shamed, berated u able to share their story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Stephanie R The soldiers story itself needs to be told and heard. Unfortunately it was packaged inside of a poorly made documentary. If there is a book, read that instead of watching this. The title should be 1 of the final 19 as the stories of the other 18 soldiers are not told. The video graphics are often shaky & blurry. The custom low budget songs created and inserted every couple minutes through the movie are cringe and distracting. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
