A Production that began at the beginning of the Pandemic, a long and winding road with unexpected challenges, has led us to this special campaign!

In case you missed it, The Mobile Riverine Force Documentary has been picked up by KPBS and we will be actively seeking National Distribution! It is our Mission to ensure that the Mobile Riverine Force is brought into the homes of millions of PBS Viewers so that every American knows of the tremendous contribution this truly unique fighting force made to American Military History.  

For us to finish the film to the highest quality and caliber, we are asking for you support as we begin this last lap. We are working HARD to have this film completed by September 2023! 

Through our 2nd and final round of fundraising, we will utilize all funds raised to complete…

POST-PRODUCTION!

Video Production wrap up shoots, Celebrity Narration, Assistant Editor, Color Correction, Archival Film, Archival Drives, Sound Mixing – Music Rights, Sound Mixer, DCP, Movie poster Graphic Artist, Digital Download, Dual Box Set DVD

What happens if we raise more than we project?

It’s quite simple… the more funds we generate the higher the likelihood that we’ll have the funds for some AWESOME Vietnam Era music that would throw this film over the top, and you know how much that would mean to these Vietnam Veterans!

From day 1 it has always been our goal to complete a feature film that these American Heroes, the Soldiers and Sailors of the Mobile Riverine Force, will finally receive the recognition long overdue for their incredible accomplishments and gallantry during the Vietnam War throughout the Mekong Delta. 

The Mobile Riverine Force Documentary

From the Director and Producers of the Award-Winning Documentary, Scramble the Seawolves, Arballo Entertainment is both honored and humbled to have the opportunity to produce the captivating story of the The Mobile Riverine Force, a story that began more than 50 years ago on the waters and in the rice paddies of the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam War.

From 1967 to 1970, in the III and IV Corp Tactical Zone, South Vietnam, approximately 5,000 Soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Brigade of the U.S. Army’s 9th Infantry Division, and Sailors of the U.S. Navy’s Riverine Assault Force, worked together as Brothers in defense of the Delta. A truly unique fighting force, the cooperation, dedication and resolve of the Joint Army-Navy Operation would earn the Mobile Riverine Force their proud place in the annals of our Military and U.S. History. 

With 11 Medal of Honor Recipients, the United States highest military award for valor and gallantry, numerous  Navy Crosses, Distinguished Service Crosses, Silver Stars, Bronze Stars and Unit awards including, but not limited to, Presidential Unit Citations, Navy Unit Commendation, Meritorious Unit Commendations, Vietnam Gallantry Crosses, Vietnam Civil Actions, First Class Ribbons, thousands of Purple Hearts and many Soldiers and Sailors who made the supreme sacrifice in service to our Nation, deserve to have their story known by ALL Americans and we’re honored to be a part of this.
