Act of Honor, Tale of Two Families and Tragedy
Tagged: documentary, Film, reporterPosted on: May 21st, 2007“Rosa Peralta is declining phone calls from reporters from now on. It’s too hard on her, emotionally. Reliving the death of her son, periodically, throughout the past two and a half years.
Rafael, her eldest of four, died embracing a live grenade in Iraq to save the lives of fellow Marines, the focal point of a new documentary Act of Honor to air on the History Channel this weekend.
The film exhibits Rosa at her most vulnerable, crying on her eldest daughter’s, Isela’s, shoulders. Her now-only son Ricardo, sixteen, is twirling his thumbs to avenge his brother somehow. Karen, his sibling peer, joined him at a Devil Pups camp, a ten-day junior military training program.”
