ABOUT
Largely unknown to most Americans, during the Global War on Terrorism (2001-2021), the United States lost almost 5 times as many active service members and veterans to suicide than were lost in the entirety of the War’s combat operations.
Final Fight: When the Trauma of War Comes Home goes further than any documentary to date in revealing the root causes of this tragic epidemic by deeply profiling the mental and physical health of a diverse group of veterans struggling with either combat or sexual assault-related Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), a major cause of suicide.
As the devastating war in Afghanistan and Iraq raged on for 20 years, U.S. military brass largely ignored not only the connection between traumatic brain injuries and suicide, but also uncontrolled sexual assault among the rank and file.
Final Fight highlights leading experts in the field of PTS therapy and brain science, offering hope and answers to the struggling veterans profiled in the film and to the family and friends who love the.
