Missing in America is a 2005 drama film, directed, produced, and written by Gabrielle Savage Dockterman.

It is based on a story by Ken Miller, a former Green Beret who was a helicopter pilot in the Vietnam War.

[1][2] Jake (played by Danny Glover), a reclusive Vietnam War veteran, has lived in a cabin in the woods of the Pacific Northwest for 35 years, plagued with guilt over the loss of men under his command.

His only interaction with other people is when he drives into town to sell firewood and buy supplies from Kate (played by Linda Hamilton).

Henry is dying of lung cancer caused by exposure to Agent Orange, and entrusts the care of his half-Vietnamese daughter, Lenny, to Jake.
