This Thursday through Saturday is the first annual North Texas VETFEST. The fundraiser is a benefit for the Veterans Institute for Film and Media. TRAUMA is the festival's lone Friday evening film and producers David Gaddie & Ryan Cunningham chatted with our Gadi Elkon about the movie, festival and much more.
Journalist Harry Sanna was embedded with the C Company Dustoff, Mountain Division, 3-10 GSAB medevac unit at FOB Shank in Logar Province, Afghanistan. Harry intensively filmed the time he spent living with the unit, heading out on missions and befriending the medics and pilots in the process.
Between 2014 and 2016, Harry reconnected with the unit in their hometowns, interviewing them and learning about how the mission affected them as they returned to civilian life.
This is their story.
Here is our interview with the film's producers David Gaddie and Ryan Cunningham.
The festival begins this Thursday with a reception and the films are screened on Friday and Saturday.
