NY PREMIERE The extreme mental and physical rigor required of US Navy SEALs takes its toll post-service. This film follows a cohort of veterans, skilled at navigating the danger and adrenaline of deployment, but struggling in civilian life. Plagued by PTSD, survivor’s guilt, traumatic brain injury, chronic pain, and depression, the men try an experimental, hallucinogenic drug treatment. Incorporating animation to depict their visions, the film is a moving testament to the hidden costs of war and the bravery required to confront personal demons. - Karen McMullen
