Old Texan tells the story of James Lacy Thompson, a 96-year-old WWII veteran, in his own words.

Built from a single, 5-hour interview between James Lacy and his great-grandson, filmmaker Brett Bailey, this film is an intimate portrait of reflection and recollection. Beginning during his youth in the midst of the Great Depression, it chronicles a story of struggle, war, love, humor, and loss, all of it retold straight from the horse’s mouth. Old Texan is a tribute to our ancestors, and to the great histories that still live among us.
