After five tours and ten years as a Marine Sniper, Sergeant Douglas Brown, alongside Director and Producer Gordon Clark, take us on an emotional journey across America, documenting the powerful testimony of returning combat veterans -- all trained with a deadly skill set, now rendered useless. Failing to prevent death, and the act of taking a human life, can shatter a soldier's religious and spiritual views, resulting in moral injury. How do these soldiers fit back into a society that supported them when they enlisted but became ambivalent when they returned?

ඇගයීම් සහ සමාලෝචන

I began this film quite certain that I'd seen it all before... a hardluck story of a guy living with his conscience after seeing combat. Man... was I wrong. It left me slumped in my chair, drained by the exhausting unknown distance it took me on. Exhausting in its intensity. I will give no hint of the narrative here -- suffice to say, it is a classic and should win an Academy Award in many categories.
