Hello El Dorado Films Facebook community. We are going to disband this page and ask all that remain interested in our veteran and military films to like and follow us here: https://www.facebook.com/veterandocs/

These two Facebook sites were operating similarly, creating duplicate posts for people. Both are still El Dorado Films platforms, but the Veteran Docs page -- the one we're asking you to jump to -- has been around longer, has more followers, and more focused content. Please jump over. We have more films we're about to launch as well as a new channel.

We are a specialized film making collective focusing on telling the reel stories of real veterans.
