Veterans Journey Home is a film series highlighting compelling, emotionally rich stories of heroic contributions made by Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans. This series exposes the many and varied psychological difficulties Veterans face due to the rigors and challenges of combat. Veterans Journey Home highlights a range of non-medicalized, non-pathologizing, community-based healing approaches that give Veterans the support and compassion they need to resume productive lives as civilians and assume positions of moral leadership in a society that desperately needs it. Experience moving stories of Veterans, once alienated from society, as they successfully transition back into their rightful and important role as leaders, in their families, businesses, and communities. These stories are not tales of heroism and valor on the battlefield of war, but they are stories of bravery and courage on the battlefield of personal life.
We will be screening the films listed below. Following the films, there will be a talkback with the films' director and a community panel.
Solutions: The introduction and philosophical underpinning of the entire series. The greatest minds in Veterans’ healing highlight community-based, non-medicalized solutions for Veterans returning home.
Ben's Story: A former Army Paratrooper and sniper, challenged by suicidal ideation, divorce, and alcoholism, fights to reconnect with his family and resume a place of leadership in civilian society.
Denver Film will also be screening Solutions and On Black Mountain, another film from the series, on June 1st. For more information and tickets to the Denver Film event, click here.
