What is Hell and Back Again about? Toggle content

Hell and Back Again is a documentary that follows the story of a wounded war veteran struggling to adapt to civilian life after serving in Afghanistan. The film provides a visceral and intimate portrayal of the physical and emotional toll that war takes on soldiers, and offers a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to lead men in war and to come home. Through the lens of director Danfung Dennis, the film captures the intense combat experienced by the Marines during the 2009 assault on a Taliban stronghold, and then delves deeper into the personal apocalypse of Sergeant Nathan Harris, who was severely injured in the battle. As Harris fights to regain his physical and mental abilities, the documentary evolves into a powerful and emotionally charged portrayal of one man's journey to find his place in a world that no longer makes sense to him.
