Post war blues
When a soldier is made to feel heroic by the media and general public, we see a broke and conflicted young man battling the horrors of war. I caught this film by accident and stayed up as the storyline grabbed my attention and exposed the difficulties in returning from war a different and damaged version of yourself. The pressure to return home and the pressure of winning and returning to the war zone create a conflict worse than the war itself.

Some great scenes that show the price put on a soldiers story being nothing compared to what it costs then to gain it.

"Set in the post-Civil War era, I was hooked from the first page on this tale of loss, and ultimately hope. The character development was incredible, and the story was inspiring. It’s a brilliant follow-up to Before We Were Yours."
