The Veteran
A True Soldier Never Leaves The Battlefield
Directed by Matthew Hope

A grim, tension-laden thriller about a traumatized veteran's descent into vigilante violence, exploring the psychological toll of war and the blurred line between justice and revenge.
Soldier Robert Miller returns home from Afghanistan unable to fit back into society.
