Jimmy in Saigon at SCIART

Studio Channel Islands Art Center (SCIART) presents Jimmy in Saigon, a documentary by Peter McDowell. The film 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 1972, when filmmaker Peter McDowell was only five. While investigating Jimmy’s drug use and sexuality, Peter takes us from the US Midwest to Vietnam, France and back home again. In his quest to get to know his brother, he uncovers a hidden romance, new family ties and a remarkable global love story. This event is being held at 7:30PM on May 20 in the Blackboard Gallery.
