About the Project

Fortunate Sons is the story of a group of boys who entered the 7th grade of an all-male, military school in the cultural watershed year of 1968 - now preparing for their 50th reunion, their lives and friendships provide a remarkable lens through which we explore 50 years of pop culture, privilege, tumultuous social change, and what it means to be male in America.
