This incredible film was so moving because it is so realistic and so relevant to events that are happening all over the country today. Men and women are struck so hard with the tragedies they are seeing during their tours of duty all over the world. Men and women at home are effected with tragedies that grip them so completely. This is a wonderful film of survival and recovery. The acting is phenomenal and the filming is beautiful. One would never know this was a first time effort for the Director/Writer, Patrick Donnelly. He brought a slice of American life to the screen with grace and realism. This is truly a "best film" that everyone should enjoy.
