It’s Never Left Me (working title)
Premiere Date: In Production Format: 1 x 30-minute documentary
Description
This documentary is in the mid-edit stage of production and focuses on Minnesota veterans who served in the post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In remarkable detail, the veterans relay their stories of combat, service, heroism, and loss. They also talk about their post-war PTSD and mental health battles, which often proved to be more difficult than their actual military service.
Impact
We expect the documentary to have an impact on the people interviewed, along with military service members in the region, as well as civilian audiences who might learn things they didn’t know before, and who might gain a new appreciation of the sacrifices of our service members. Our intended audience is anyone in our viewing area. Minnesota has a rich history of honoring veterans and welcoming them home from combat. We hope this project can bring a new understanding of these 21st-century wars and those who served in them.
