Summaries

A powerful, one-hour documentary featuring ten U.S. veterans transitioning from active duty to the unexpected challenges of civilian life. Our film is told through the voices of dynamic young men and women from diverse economic and racial backgrounds and varied branches of military service.—Dena Seidel

At a time when thousands of U.S. service men and women return home from Iraq and Afghanistan, The War After conveys the emotional and physical complexity of transitioning from military to civilian life. Our story's 10 veterans come from different backgrounds, cultures and branches of military service - they are young, old, gay, straight, married, single, black, white, Hispanic, Asian and all struggling to build their lives anew. Our characters include whose families were ravaged by September 11 to those who led the first invasion of Iraq. This feature length documentary weaves these voices that speak for a generation raised in, and through, our nation's longest war.
