My Name Is Smith

Overview

Filmmaker James Allen Smith spent much of his childhood in Germany; his parents met while they were both serving in the military in the 1960s, and he lived the nomadic life of an Army Brat, rarely settling in one place for very long. While his older brother followed his parents example and joined the Navy, James pursued a career in the arts, and as he grew older he came to realize how little he really knew about his family.
