Sensitively written and narrated, this behind the hidden camera dive into the mental anguish of WW2 veterans is an essential part of every American's experience.
For every hero there is a victim and while physical scars might heal, hidden damage is tougher to tackle.
Each one of these casualties has friends, family and others who suffer too.
The frustration of dealing with these types of injuries isn't much better today. Mental illness is still described by most people with the words "crazy", "nuts", "wacko"... My heart breaks for these men. What courage they had to address these deamons.
For those who say this movie was "suppressed" for decades might be right. I don't know if professionals were allowed to view.
But one must also respect the privacy of these men and their families.
After all, they were the patients.
