Synopsis

Rick grew up in the small town of Warrenville, Ill. in the 1950s. Every day of Rick's childhood was an adventure and a lesson in survival. His innocent escapades illustrate the freedom, joy and frustration of a rapidly changing small town America. His grandfathers passed down traditional survival skills that Rick would carry with him throughout his lifetime. As Rick learned about family, farming, hunting, fishing, foraging and fast cars, he developed set of values that were unshakable. Little did he know that his experiences were preparing him for a war he never wanted to go to and would never fully return from. Rick left for Vietnam vowing not to die. He cheated death so many times, now it haunts him.

In Your Wildest Dreams is a touching story of not just one American warrior, but an entire family, community and way of life.
