    Not my favorite documentary on the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, but it is touching. What I love that most in this documentary is that there is a focus on their family back home and the children they so greatly miss. The focus on how the transition back into civilian life is…

    There’s a tendency to focus on purely the trauma aspect of the transition from military to civilian life, so it’s admittedly refreshing to see the documentary approach it from a perspective of optimism in how people move forward and have fulfilling second lives following…

    As someone who grew up in a military family and had a brother who served in Iraq, this was an emotional journey.

    I didn't know this was a documentary but nevertheless, it was/is completely gripping and intense....you can feel the emotional weight and gravitas emanating from the heroes on the screen.

    This film documents the paths most of us vets take. Too often we're portrayed through a deficit-based lens -- homeless, addicted, hateful, or on the end of the spectrum trophy heroes. The family featured is relatable and that's what has been missing from the post-9/11 films…

    So, I will start by saying I watched this in an unorthodox manner. I got caught in absolutely horrendous traffic on the way there and ended up walking a little under halfway through the film. So, I went back later and caught the beginning to compensate. And even then.. I…

    Possibly, actually the best documentary I've ever seen. A man was embedded with a company in Iraq in 2006, and went to individually interview them all in 2020. Powerful, and I have that much more appreciation for those who serve. One guy was deployed 13 times. That is…

    As much as this film has been derided for its pro Military Industrial Complex stance, I feel it's approach in the hardships of the spouses and children experience when their family member is deployed and the facing veterans returning to civilian life is one that needs to be…

    Thoughtful documentary.  I personally do not prefer these style of self aware documentaries, but I cannot downplay the importance of the underlying message. Have already recommended it to others.

    A must see for everyone! It certainly helps understand what our veterans go through when they are deployed. The sacrifices the family goes through is huge.

    I love this movie, is inspirational, really touch your emotions specially if you have family members that have served. I liked the fact that you can see the video when they were actually serving the country at young age in Afghanistan and Iraq and now you can see them…
