Description
"Almost Sunrise" - About the documentary
This moving documentary follows two Iraq veterans, Tom Voss and Anthony Anderson, both tormented by depression for years after they returned home from the battlefield and pushed to the edge of suicide. The two embark on an extraordinary journey – a 2,700 mile walk across the country from Wisconsin to California – in order to reflect on their haunting experiences of war and to ultimately save themselves. Through their personal struggle, the film powerfully illustrates the psychological scars of combat soldiers and raises imperative questions about how mental health systems and veteran policies can better support those who serve.
