Built on the pillars of the truth, the healing and the hope, SEARCHING FOR HOME: COMING BACK FROM WAR is an emotional and unflinching look at returning veterans and their search for the “home” they left behind, physically, mentally and spiritually. From World War II, Korea, and Vietnam to modern-day conflicts, SEARCHING FOR HOME is a multi-generational documentary that chronicles the journey of the men and women, who have left “home,” only to return to new and difficult challenges as profoundly-changed people. SEARCHING FOR HOME captures, up close and personal, the lives of veterans struggling with issues of grief and trauma, some for as many as 60 years. Unprecedented access allows the viewer to personally witness the hidden wounds, disturbing memories and the devastating impact of PTSD. SEARCHING FOR HOME then chronicles the healing and the hope of these brave men and woman, some utilizing a myriad of treatments, healing activities and above all helping others along the healing path.
