Home of the Brave
The day after they get the word that they'll go home in two weeks, a group of soldiers from Spokane are ambushed in an Iraqi city. Back stateside we follow four of them: a surgeon who saw too much; a teacher who's a single mom and who lost a hand in the ambush; an infantry man whose best friend died that day; and a soldier who keeps reliving the moment he killed a civilian woman. Each has come home changed and feeling dislocated. Group therapy, V.A. services, halting gestures from family and colleagues, and regular flashbacks keep the war front and center in their minds. They're angry, touchy, and explosive. Can a warrior find peace back home? Written by
