Program Notes

Directors Lexy Lovell and Michael Uys bring together veterans from each of the American wars of the last century who marched eagerly to defend their country in 1944, 1966, 1991, or 2003 only to return conflicted by the atrocities they saw and participated in, and questioning what true service to your nation really means.  Interweaving candid interviews with jarring on-the-ground archival footage, Lovell and Uys’ film exposes the brutality of combat, and honors the bravery not only of those who fight, but those who fight for change.  In ultimately choosing to work for peace in the world, these heroes have begun to take steps towards peace with themselves as well.
