The Ground Truth stunned filmgoers at the 2006 Sundance and Nantucket Film Festivals. Hailed as "powerful" and
"quietly unflinching," Patricia Foulkrod's searing documentary feature includes exclusive footage that will stir
audiences. The filmmaker's subjects are patriotic young Americans - ordinary men and women who heeded the call
for military service in Iraq - as they experience recruitment and training, combat, homecoming, and the struggle to
reintegrate with families and communities. 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.?
Runtime: 72 minutes
