How FatherSoldierSon editor Amy Foote cut 10 years of footage into one heartbreaking documentary
To get to the center of the story of documentary “Father Soldier Son,” about a single dad raising two boys while fighting in Afghanistan, editor Amy Foote locked herself in a bubble for two months poring over 10 years of footage.
Foote — whose diverse work on documentaries include Staples Singers celebration “Mavis,” History Channel’s “Watergate” and the sociopolitical “Hail Satan?” — joined the project after everything had been shot. “It was the most amount of footage I ever had to contend with,” she says. “ [Einhorn and Davis] had been there the whole time and were much further ahead.”
Davis, who doubles as cinematographer, says the filmmakers spent a lot of time with the family over the years and discussed a less intimate take of the aftermath of events, but Eisch wanted her to film everything, including how the family made its peace. “We hung in the background and got what we got,” Davis says. “It’s not perfect, but we documented it as best we could.”
