ECVACs Emerging Role in Supporting VA Ministry

"ALMOST SUNRISE is a story of veteran resilience and recovery.

The film follows two Iraq veterans who struggle with depression upon returning home from service. Fearful of succumbing to the epidemic of veteran suicide, they seek a lifeline and embark on a 2,700-mile walk across America as a way to confront their inner pain.

The film captures a intimate portrait of two friends suffering from the unseen wounds of war as they discover an unlikely treatment: the restorative power of silence and meditation."
