WORLD PREMIERE

THE NAM: Boys Of The Bamboo

Written and Directed by Layon Gray

November 5th, 2026 - November 15th, 2026

Captured and imprisoned in a bamboo cage deep in Vietnam, five Black soldiers confront the brutality of war, the pain of separation, and their deepest fears as they fight to survive, preserve their dignity, and make it home.Through memories of family, stories of home, humor, conflict, and dreams for the future, the men forge an unbreakable brotherhood. As captivity tests their courage and humanity, they discover that survival is not simply about escaping the cage, it is about refusing to let the war break their spirit.

THE NAM: Boys Of The Bamboo is a powerful story of resilience, sacrifice, and brotherhood, honoring the Black soldiers who served in Vietnam and the enduring spirit of those who refused to be broken.
