The following information comes from the Movie Zone website
"Missing in America," a powerful contemporary drama starring Danny Glover, Linda Hamilton, David Strathairn, Ron Perlman and introducing Zoe Weizenbaum, begins principal photography November 17th (2003) in Vancouver, British Columbia.
A co-production of Angel Devil Productions and Intrinsic Value, the film marks the feature film directing debut of Gabrielle Savage Dockterman, an award-winning producer, director and writer of interactive video and television projects. Isen Robbins and Aimee Schoof, partners in the New York-based production company, Intrinsic Value, are the producers. The screenplay by Ken Miller & Gabrielle Savage Dockterman & Nancy L. Babine is based on an original story by Miller, shaped by events from Miller's experiences in the Vietnam War and the internal struggle that followed.
Glover stars as Jake Neeley, a Vietnam veteran haunted by memories of lives lost under his command, who has lived in self-imposed exile in the rain forest of the Pacific Northwest for more than thirty years. A former member of his platoon (David Strathairn) mysteriously appears at his remote cabin, only to vanish overnight, leaving behind his nine-year-old daughter. Jake has no choice but to care for the child.
Linda Hamilton plays a feisty, widowed storekeeper who is the woodcutter's sole contact with the outside world. Sparks fly when she sees a new side of Jake as he is transformed by his relationship with the child. Ron Perlman portrays a badly scarred, deranged "bush vet" the little girl attempts to befriend.
Zoe Weizenbaum makes her screen debut as "Lenny", the spirited Amerasian youngster whose presence unearths long-buried emotions in Jake, leading him on an unexpected journey to healing.
