‘Umoja:’ Uniting a Family After Decades of Searching

Aug 13, 2020

After 40 years waiting to meet, a father, son and two families from two continents are together now thanks to a DNA test.
It’s called “Umoja” by a Michigan filmmaker who tells the story of a Black Vietnam vet and a son he’s been wondering about for decades, left in Vietnam.
One Detroit’s Bill Kubota talks to director Justin Brown about how he found the story and the ending you won’t want to miss.

The full documentary airs on Sunday, November 7 at 5:30 p.m. on Detroit PBS.
