Brian Lowry Variety It's simple and spare. Nov 8, 2013 Full Review Laura Clifford Reeling Reviews ...we watch paired teams battle to save U.S. veterans from committing suicide in the only existing crisis center(!) in a country where 22 veterans take their lives every day. Rated: A- Jan 27, 2015 Full Review Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com The work of its dedicated staffers provide more drama than you'll see anywhere else tonight and poses a question of the longterm affect of putting so many military in conflict.

Audience Member A really sad look at the current suicide epidemic faced by United States Veterans. Callers had all sorts of different backgrounds ie Pearl Harbour, Vietnam, Lebanon, Afghanistan, etc - point being that this is an issue faced by ALL service members, not just from a particular war. It focuses on a specific call centre and certain calls that were taken that day. It's a very short doc at only 40min long, so they don't get the opportunity to provide much context re mental illness, PTSD, etc. But the very very very telling statistic was that since 2001, more service members have by suicide than died on the battlefield. That shocked me. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Love It.
