Product Description

Any Mother's Son (1997)

Director:

David Burton Morris

Writer:

Bruce Harmon

Stars:

Bonnie Bedelia, Hedy Burress, Paul Popowich
 
One of the most controversial (and widely-reported) stories of the early 1990s is vividly dramatized in this made-for-cable movie. In 1992, Allen Schindler, a navy sailor serving on the USS Belleau Wood, is savagely beaten to death while on leave in Japan. Allen's grieving mother Dorothy Hajdys-Holman (Bonnie Bedelia) becomes even more distraught when the representatives of the United States Navy refuse to provide her with full details on her son's murder. Then comes the ultimate shock: A newspaper reporter informs Dorothy that her son was gay, and that this might have been the reason he was killed. But if the Navy has anything to say about it, the entire matter will be swept under the rug, with Dorothy remaining as much in the dark as the rest of the world: A deal has already been cut with one of Allen's killers, who after a secret court-martial is given what amounts to a legal slap on the wrist. Radicalized by the incident and its aftermath, Dorothy joins forces with a crusading journalist to force the Navy to reveal the whole truth--and she isn't about to let the court-martial of Allen's other assailant to be conducted behind closed doors! The upshot of this high-profile case was the creation of the Service Members' Legal Defense Network, assuring that no branch of the armed services would ever again be able to conspire to cover up a major crime. Its title selected by the real-life Dorothy Hajdys-Holman, who served as the film's technical advisor (not surprisingly, the Navy refused to cooperate at all).

  1. So happy to have a copy of this film 5 Star Review

    Posted by on Apr 18th 2022

    I am so happy I managed to get hold of a copy of this film. I watched it straight away. I would say its more of a vhs quality, good decent watchable quality. It was much better than I thought it would be, so pleasantly surprised. As it states on the site, you have to be prepared to wait but well worth it. I am very happy and plan to use this website again

  2. a real find! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on Jun 27th 2018

    I've tried for several yeas to find a copy of the TV Lifetime Movie "Any Mother's Son" that I recently purchased. The copies I found were few and had become "collectables" at inflated prices.
    Zeus product was so reasonable. It took longer than usual; in fact I thought perhaps I had been scammed but the copy arrived and was well worth the wait.
