Hell and Back Again Documentary - Must See!!

From his embed with US Marines Echo Company in Afghanistan, photojournalist and filmmaker Danfung Dennis reveals the devastating impact a Taliban machine-gun bullet has on the life of 25-year-old Sergeant Nathan Harris. The film seamlessly transitions from stunning war reportage to an intimate, visceral portrait of one man’s personal struggle at home in North Carolina, where Harris confronts the physical and emotional difficulties of re-adjusting to civilian life with the love and support of his wife, Ashley. Masterfully contrasting the intensity of the frontline with the unsettling normalcy of home, HELL AND BACK AGAIN lays bare the true cost of war.

What does it mean to lead men in war? What does it mean to come home - injured physically and psychologically - and build a life anew? HELL AND BACK AGAIN is a cinematically revolutionary film that asks and answers these questions with a power and intimacy no previous film about the conflict in Afghanistan has been able to achieve.

" . . . a vivid and moving testament to what's really going on in Afghanistan, and in the hearts and minds of the soldiers fighting there."

ABOUT US

Our mission is to provide education that facilitates an understanding of the military as its own sub-culture to those who serve our nation’s bravest. If you are providing education, housing, employment or clinical care to veterans and their families, you need Home Again. If you are committed to veterans succeeding you must understand their mindset, challenges and the milieu they operate under. Home Again dispels idealizations and myths about the military and focuses on its strengths, values, vocabulary, routines and needs.
Home Again: Veterans and Families Initiative enables providers and others to do their usual work in an enhanced, culturally informed way that places a priority on veterans and military families. We make this happen through education and have trained over 900 community providers such as:

Child protective services

Mental health clinicians

Higher education institutions

Work readiness programs

Our training goes far beyond an introduction to the culture of the military. We address the invisible wounds and hallmarks of the most recent wars. We give you the tools you need to help veterans and their families succeed, reintegrate and get on with their lives. Our training team includes a clinician (with expertise in trauma), and Veteran Peer Advocates who have walked the walk and understand the military experience.
