Broken Brotherhood: Vietnam and the Boys from Colgate. Prod. by Lou Buttino and Robert Aberlin. 2006. 60 mins. (Colgate Bookstore, 3 Utica St., Hamilton, NY 13346; 877-362-7666; bookstore@mail.colgate.edu; http://www.colgatebookstore.com/)

Broken Brotherhood is a film about healing. Proceeding from the assumption that the United States remains riven by the Vietnam War decades after it officially ended, director Lou Buttino addresses the continuing unease about the conflict in American memory through his own experiences and recollections and those of his fellow Colgate University alumni from the 1960s and 1970s. The documentary originated with Colgate's 1994 memorialization of its former students who died as a result of the Vietnam conflict. Weaving together stories of some young Americans' military service, other young Americans' opposition to the war, and the ways that they coalesced at Colgate, the production touchingly allows some of the disparate voices of that era to reflect on their experiences at home and abroad. Of course, as an all-male (until 1970) liberal arts college in central New York, Colgate was hardly representative of the nation as a whole. Nevertheless, its alumni do address how the war created societal and familial divisions in a way that will likely seem relevant to many who came of age during that period.
