Hell and Back Again

Photojournalist Danfung Dennis made his feature debut with the heart wrenching documentary. An intimate look at the ordeal of a soldier fighting in Afghanistan and his recovery back at home. Through Sgt. Nathan Harris, Dennis shows the daily ordeals of soldiers who fight the wars and if lucky enough to return life, their adjustment back to a normal life with physical and psychological scars. It's a remarkable film in many ways, Harris is a remarkable young man whose behavior in combat and at home is truly inspiring. Dennis' focus on the tribulations of soldiers is universal instead of propaganda, controversy or special incidents that most films address. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
