This podcast episode, hosted by Bree, discusses the inspirations of, beginnings of, and makings of the 2 Sides Project and the 2 Sides Project documentary. We feature Margot Carlson Delogne, the founder of the 2 Sides Project, discussing her personal journey and the project's mission with Nora Kubach, the editor of The 2 Sides Project documentary. Margot shares her background of growing up with her father killed in the Vietnam War, her struggles with alcohol and drug addiction, and her path to sobriety. She explains how storytelling became essential in her recovery and led her to connect with other Americans who lost their fathers in Vietnam.
The 2 Sides Project aims to connect sons and daughters whose fathers died on opposite sides of the Vietnam War. Margot recounts the emotional journey of organizing a trip to Vietnam with other Gold Star families and the profound impact of bringing together American and Vietnamese participants who had never formally met.
Our conversation extends to the broader impact of the 2 Sides Project, its evolution, and Margot's ongoing connections with individuals in Vietnam. Tune in to learn how the 2 Sides Project can inspire connections and understanding, and connect people who are divided through the power of storytelling.
