    Compelling Story Backed by Breathtaking Cinematography

    Taylor is an amazing character, and he and John capture the true nature of PTSD in American veterans in a powerful way. The shots from Patagonia were absolutely breathtaking, and the overall beauty captured throughout the voyage conveyed the restorative effects of the journey.

    "Hell or High Seas" is a must-watch for veterans, military personnel, and law enforcement officers

    In response to the rising suicide rates among veterans, this documentary emerges as a crucial resource. It helps veterans comprehend their trauma and transform their experiences into avenues for positive growth.

    Taylor's inspirational story offers hope to veterans and their families, showing that there is a meaningful life after military service and a path to fulfillment through post-traumatic growth.

    The film emphasizes that healing doesn't have to be a solitary journey. Taylor shows us what it means for veterans to support veterans. This documentary not only allowed me to understand my trauma but also helped my wife better understand my experiences. As Taylor courageously shares his story, he demonstrates, "The bravest thing you can do is live and create a life worth living."

    Must Watch! Compelling story with needed info for all!

    Adventure, action, heart and soul! This documentary has it all! You'll enjoy the action of the sailing but be moved by the story of Taylor and other Vets as they talk about the struggle of returning to civilian life! I cannot say enough! Edge of your seat moment, tears and laughs! It has it all! Excellent cinematography as well! Watch it now!

    Amazing True Story of Grit and Determination

    Amazing voyage through the real world struggles with PTSD and a unique and personal insight into overcoming obstacles. Well shot and edited. Love the Patagonia shots.

    On a personal note.... As a family member of Veterans who have faced the difficulties of civilian life reintegration and friend of those who have taken their own life, all I can say is THANK YOU for highlighting your journey. Furthermore, I love how you have continued the voyage and what your organization Skeleton Crew Adventures is actively doing to help veterans and first responders on a daily basis. Keep up the amazing work, fair winds and calm seas.

    Terrific film

    This is the best documentary I've seen in years. It'll give you a whole new level of respect and awe for our brothers and sisters in the military. The adventure keeps you on the edge of your seat, and the footage is absolutely spectacular. This isn't a typical documentary film.
