Hell and Back Again

The photojournalist and filmmaker Danfung Dennis reveals the devastating impact a Taliban machine-gun bullet has on the life of a 25-year-old Sergeant. The film transitions from stunning war reportage to an intimate portrait of one man’s personal struggle, where he confronts the physical and emotional difficulties of re-adjusting to civilian life. Masterfully contrasting the intensity of the frontline with the unsettling normalcy of home, the film lays bare the true cost of war.
