Wartorn 1861-2010
Description
Civil War doctors called it hysteria. During the First World War it was known as shell shock, and in World War II it became combat fatigue. Today it is clinically known as post-traumatic stress disorder, a crippling anxiety that results from exposure to life-threatening situations such as combat. This compelling program examines case studies of PTSD spanning 150 years and six American wars. Soldiers' stories are told through letters and journals, battle footage, and interviews with affected veterans and their families. Also included are conversations between the film's executive producer James Gandolfini and top military personnel, enlisted men, and medical experts about the emotional wounds that combat can inflict.
