Of Men and War (DVD)

The warriors in Of Men and War have come home to the United States, but their minds remain on the battlefield. Anger consumes a dozen combat vets long after their return from the front. Like figures from a Greek tragedy, all have traumatic memories that haunt them to this day. Ghosts and echoes of the war fill their lives. Threats seem to spring out from everywhere. Wives, children, and parents bear the brunt of their fractured spirits. At The Pathway Home, a first-of-its-kind PTSD therapy center, the film’s protagonists resolve to end the ongoing destruction of their well-being. Their therapist acts as a father figure, helping the young men forge meaning from their trauma. Over years of therapy, Of Men and War explores their grueling paths to recovery as they attempt to make peace with themselves, their past, and their families. This presents the director’s cut of the feature at its full 147 minute length.
