Flag of My Father

Judith, portrayed by GiGi Erneta (known for her roles in “Friday Night Lights” and “Veronica Mars”), takes great pride in serving her country as an army nurse, a value instilled in her by her Vietnam veteran father, played by William Devane (“Knots Landing,” “24”). After completing her deployment in Iraq, she returns home, grappling with intense post-traumatic stress that manifests as nightmares. Her close bond with her father, rooted in their shared military experiences, becomes a source of envy for her brothers, led by John Schneider (“The Dukes of Hazzard”). Their jealousy leads to a surprising rejection of Judith, which only deepens following their father’s unexpected death. As she strives to mend her fractured family and heal her own mind, Judith leans on her faith to navigate these challenges. Her struggles are compounded by the trauma of a P.O.W. experience, during which she fought for her life and that of a fellow American soldier. When a hidden truth comes to light, her brothers are forced to confront their pride and seek reconciliation.
