Featured review
All these years we saw through film and newsreels at how heroic our soldiers were during WWII. We never got to see what some dealt with like we see today. Back then they were super human and all bullet proof. Turns out the issues we well know today, were relevant far before these days. This film will show with great clarity what "PTSD" or shell shock can do to a human mind.
In this, you get to see real issues of having to deal with being thrown into a human horror show all the while coming from a normal background and living a basic ordinary life. These guys were just living normal lives like most do but when war calls, things can happen to the mind for some. With this film, you'll see what the realities of war can do to a seemingly normal man.
Most days in the news we get to hear about the issue of PTSD in wars that were/are quite recent. Seeing this you'll know, how long this issue has gone on.
Not enough thanks can be given to National Film Preservation Foundation for saving and restoring this must see on how war can affect...the soul.
