Short summary

Could an American MIA be struggling to find his way home? UNCLAIMED follows a war-torn Vietnam veteran in his quest to uncover the true identity of a man claiming to be a Special Forces soldier still living in Vietnam, decades after being declared Missing In Action. One soldier's true-life struggle to help another forms an emotional tale of lost identity, redemption, love and brotherhood beyond the battlefield. A deeply moving salute to the contributions and sacrifices made by all Vietnam veterans, this award-winning documentary offers a compelling and controversial reason to revive awareness of the POW/MIA discussion. Featuring Vietnam veteran Tom Faunce who served 27 months in-country with the 11th Armored Cavalry and gripping commentary by elite MACV-SOG members and their little-known participation in "The Secret War" over Laos make UNCLAIMED a must-see for veterans and history buffs of all generations.

    The subject of the film has failed two DNA tests and a fingerprint test. He can't speak English although he speaks fluent french (who was teaching him french in communist-era Vietnam?). He can't remember the names of his own children. Yet, the director thinks he's an MIA American. All we need to hear is he's a Nigerian prince with $22 million in gold. C'mon.

    The director fails to do some basic fact checking and instead blames a long series of failed tests and problems with the man's claims on some shadowy conspiracy.

    A movie short on facts and long on 1980s Hollywood-style conspiracy stories about MIAs. Don't waste your time.
