The Oscar-nominated HELL AND BACK AGAIN follows 25-year-old Marine Sgt. Nathan Harris on his most difficult mission: coming home.
After being seriously wounded in Afghanistan, Harris is forced to cut his tour short, leaving the danger and excitement of life on the front line behind. Embedded with Harris's unit during their assault on a Taliban stronghold, filmmaker Danfung Dennis juxtaposes the intense experience of war with the challenges of re-adjusting to civilian life in small town North Carolina. HELL AND BACK AGAIN brings the war home in ways that make gun-toting soldiering look like a day at the beach compared to the physical and psychological scars of returning home.
