Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival 2008

After returning home from Iraq and leaving the Army, veterans are left to make sense of their experiences. Dick Powers, one of the filmmakers and a former Army Captain and Iraq veteran, returns to civilian life only to have his marriage fall apart. Dick also faces the legacy of his grandfather who was never the same after his tours in Vietnam and ultimately died a divorced, alcoholic, war-hero. Having died only a month after Dick's return from Iraq, the two never have an opportunity to discuss their experiences. Instead, Dick finds four veterans willing to dicuss their experiences both in combat and returning home. Covering the spectrum of experiences, these veterans provide insight into the mind of a combat veteran.
