    Man in the camo jacket is a beautiful love story. The enduring love between Mike and Jules throughout tough times and the love of music and the power it has to help overcome adversity and inspire. Throughout his battle, helping others came first. If you were never a fan of Mike Peters and The Alarm before, you will be after watching this. Get this film into theaters before awards season. It's a bloody masterpiece.

    I have been a fan of Mike Peters and The Alarm since 1986 and as much as I loved their music, it wasn't until my son and I met Mike this spring at UCLA did I know the tremendous story that IS MIKE PETERS! This movie documents life, music, relationships, and perseverance to do what you love and with those you love! Never give into regret, failure, or percentages...rise above and the journey will continue!
