Faith of My Fathers is a 2005 American biographical drama television film directed by Peter Markle and written by Markle and William Bingham, based on the 1999 memoir of the same name by United States Senator and former United States Navy aviator John McCain (with Mark Salter).
Filming locations included the former Falstaff Brewery (as the Hanoi Hilton)[1] and Tulane University (as the United States Naval Academy).
[3] Reviews for Faith of My Fathers were mixed, with Variety calling the treatment an "earnest adaptation" and "a stark, by-the-numbers account of the horrors POWs endured in Vietnam",[4] while The Washington Post said the film was "serviceable" but fell short of McCain's "much more nuanced" memoir.
"[6] The film was nominated for four Primetime Emmy Awards, in categories involving art direction, cinematography, and editing, but did not win any of them.
[10] A DVD of the film was commercially released in June 2008 by Sony Pictures Entertainment, and was also used as a contribution reward by McCain's 2008 presidential campaign.
