Tribal

I watched this movie last night, and it's one of the best I've seen in awhile. The bravery of the men, that tells a personal story of their own that changed the course of their lives, is truly amazing. I suggest everyone should see it. It brings you to a place as if you were right next to them in combat. It also teaches us that no matter how strong and brave they are physically, they are still people that gives their own lives so we may walk free. It brings attention to how these soldiers come home and don't get the help they need. We all MUST pay attention to them, and help where we can. As in PTSD.

Truth be told, I didn't know what to expect. Right out of the gate, hearing stories from combat veterans, their experiences on the battlefield, the unwavering brotherhood bond, and heartfelt (at times crushing) struggles upon returning home. A film that everyone should watch before they go to the ballot box. These people need our support, our lifelong commitment to help them integrate back into civilian life. These people are why we have our freedoms today. These people are true heroes.

Watch it, you won't regret it. And don't just watch...use this as motivation to make a difference in their lives, as they have done for YOU and OUR COUNTRY.

If you were not there this will show you the true cost of war. Freedom is not free. What an amazing and high quality film. America loves its veterans and this documentary will only strengthen that love and bond. This film makes clear the burden we have as a nation to do all for those warriors that come home and struggle.

Our warriors cannot walk off the plane onto American soil and just turn off the switch. Some of them need more support from all of us and our state and national systems. This film shows all of us the pain and hurt some of our warfighters carry when they return.

Congratulations to Mark Kershaw and the heroes that told their stories. A must watch for every American!

Tribal details the story of three combat veterans and their experiences during and after their military service. Their portrayal of danger, loss, and sacrifice hooked me immediately. The stories are well-told and the editing and cinematography is excellent, but it's the second half of the film that delivers the gut punch.

These men talk about what is forbidden. Culturally forbidden. Forbidden by the media. Forbidden by their own tribe. Each day veterans struggle with mental health, and their suicide rate is far above the general public. This documentary and these men courageously shine a light on a problem that nobody wants to touch with a ten-foot-pole.

It's the most honest documentary I've ever viewed.

I was deeply moved by the three stories told by these brave men who sacrificed so much for our country. Each story is remarkable in its own way. The courage, bravery, horror, and pain is hard to imagine. I thank the producer, Mark Kershaw, for his part in making this film. We need more awareness of these PTSD issues with our veterans. As discussed in the film, our military is really good at training our soldiers how to kill, but not so good at integrating them back into a non-wartime society. The demons they bring home with them don't sleep, don't rest, don't stop. They wait until the soldier is alone, isolated, depressed. It's not a fair fight. We need to help these warriors. Spread the word!
