On a typical day, more than 20 veterans and active-duty military die by suicide.

The journey home for veterans struggling with PTSD can be crippling, leading to isolation, depression and hopelessness.

We have created this documentary to tell this bigger story by focusing on the lives of veterans, their families and caring community members in small town Pennsylvania.

Our goal is to shed light on this issue, to inform, and to show how we can help vets everywhere make the long journey home themselves.
