A searing true story from America's heartland, Losing Our Sons tells of
two American families whose lives intersected through a shattering act
of violence - the first Al Qaeda murder on US soil since 9/11. Melvin
Bledsoe, a small business owner in Memphis, watched with pride as his
son Carlos went to Tennessee State University in Nashville to better his
life. Daris Long, an ex-Marine, felt honored that his son, Andy, chose
to follow in his footsteps by joining the military. But when Carlos
Bledsoe murdered Andy Long in Little Rock, Arkansas, both fathers had to
face a new kind of American nightmare. As Melvin followed the trail
that led Carlos from Nashville to Yemen and then to Little Rock, Daris
confronted an American government that seemed in denial about what
happened to his son. This powerful documentary provides a moment of
clarity for Americans who care about their country's future.
