The Walking Wounded

The Walking Wounded

Back to winners

A classically trained pianist, 26-year-old Graham was a first-class Paratrooper. Within six months of leaving the military he had become a heroin addict, sleeping rough in Glasgow.  Following tours of Bosnia and Gulf War I, 38-year-old Chris suffers from acute post-traumatic stress disorder, costing him his family, business and home.  Unable to adapt to ‘civvie street', 29-year-old Gulf War II veteran Trevor is trapped in a cycle of criminal behaviour and court hearings. "The Walking Wounded" takes an emotionally charged and uncompromising look at the experiences of these young former soldiers as they adapt to civilian life.
