about The Production

As any comedian will tell you, the most poignant comedy comes from pain. And no one knows this better than a service member with a life-changing injury. The documentary features five severely wounded service members; four men and one woman — with injuries ranging from burns to amputations. They tell their stories from the moment they decided to enlist, to their experiences in combat, their struggles in coming home to heal, and the role that humor plays in their rehabilitation.

While the subject is serious, the tone of the film is humorous and light-hearted. The purpose is not only to raise awareness but, also to document the struggles these individuals have gone through and their healing process. It serves as a way of honoring their service and sacrifice, as well as provide a message of hope for injured service members who have just begun this journey.
