Largely unknown to most Americans, over the last 20 years, the United States has lost almost five times as many active service members and veterans to suicide than have been lost in all of the Global War on Terrorism operations.
Final Fight: When the Trauma of War Comes Home goes deeper than any documentary to date in revealing the root causes of this tragic epidemic by profiling a diverse group of veterans struggling with either combat and sexual assault-related Post Traumatic Stress, a major cause of suicide.
As the devastating war ground on, military brass, struggling to fight the longest-running war in United States history, largely ignored- not only the connection between traumatic brain injuries and suicide- but uncontrolled sexual assault among the rank and file. Leading experts in the field of PTS therapy and brain science offer hope and answers to the struggling veterans profiled in the series but also to the family and friends who love them.
