Description
When Tomas Young saw President Bush on television speaking from the ruins of the Twin Towers, he responded to the call to defend his country by enlisting in the Army. But rather than being sent to Afghanistan to rout out Al Qaeda and Taliban warriors, Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq and everything changed. While riding on his first mission to Sadr City—in an unarmored Humvee with no canvas covering—he was shot just above his left collarbone and instantly paralyzed. This is Tomas' coming home story, as he evolves into a new person, dealing with his disability and finding his own unique and passionate voice against the war. Features two original songs by Eddie Vedder. Winner of the Best Documentary award from the National Board of Review. Directed by Phil Donahue and Ellen Spiro.
