Stress

The documentary follows five young war veterans from Pittsburgh who were serving in the US military in Afghanistan or Iraq after 9/11. Joe, Torrie, Mike, James and Justin tell stories of their war experiences and the process of adjusting to civilian life afterwards, back home. The film combines audio interviews with visually unique observations of everyday life in the US to make the complex tension between war and civilian life and the stress of dealing with it emotionally and visually tangible for those who have not had to experience it.
