THE GROUND TRUTH- a moving and powerful documentary from Patricia Foulkrod's. This seven minutes is a glimpse of the filmmaker's subjects who are patriotic young Americans -- ordinary men and women who heeded the call for military service in Iraq -- as they experience recruitment, training, combat, homecoming, and the struggle to reintegrate with families. The terrible conflict in Iraq, depicted with ferocious honesty in the film, is a prelude for the even more challenging battles fought by the soldiers returning home -- with personal demons, an uncomprehending public, and an indifferent government. As these battles take shape, each soldier becomes a new kind of hero, bearing witness and giving support to other veterans, and learning to fearlessly wield the most powerful weapon of all - the truth. Watch this unbelieveable 7 minute clip from the film.
