Film: Almost Sunrise, Human Rights Watch Film Festival 2016



http://www.filmlinc.org/films/almost-sunrise/

Suicide among military veterans has reached epidemic proportions and is often the result of what mental-health professionals call “moral injury”—lasting wounds to the soul caused by participation in events that go against one’s deeply held sense of right and wrong. Two young veterans, haunted by their own combat experiences, take a 2,700-mile trek on foot across America seeking redemption, acceptance, and a way to close the moral chasm opened by war. This intimate, vérité film documents their journey and the healing lessons they learn along the way.
