Two retired soldiers who are battling the moral injuries of war and the temptations of suicide walk across America to confront their demons and discover the power of spiritual healing.

'Almost Sunrise' presents a journey that is very much worth the time of anyone who's concerned about the effect war has on our brothers and sisters who fight -- which should translate to 'everyone.'

Rated: 3/4

We're left ... feeling we've had only a glimmer of illumination on a vexingly complex problem.

Exploring the ramifications of that tragic state of affairs while introducing a concept dubbed "Moral Injury," Almost Sunrise makes for powerful viewing.

A Reel of One's Own

The more institutional issue could be explored more. But the documentary does such an excellent job of what it does choose to focus on that it's hardly missed.

Rated: A-

The Gate

Almost Sunrise is as empathetic and touching as any look at PTSD that I've ever seen, and anyone with a family member going through something similar owes it to themselves to see this film.

This movie is a must-see for all-Veterans and civilians alike. Itvis very inspirational as it correctly tells the story of the hidden struggles of a veteran. I like the idea that the Veterans in the movie found an alternative to medicinal treatment that helped them become productive part of the nation's workforce today. Good job to the actors and director as well as all the veteran supporters out there.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
