Home Front
  Soldiers & Veterans
  (2006, 93 minutes)

To date, more than 18,000 American troops have been wounded in the war in Iraq. What happens when they come home? For these soldiers, the challenges upon returning home are daunting. The transition to civilian life is filled with physical rehabilitation, emotional difficulties and fractured relationships. Home Front gives a face and voice to these underrepresented soldiers and their families, told intimately through the Feldbusch family of Western Pennsylvania, and their wounded son, Jeremy.

“While Home Front's subject may not be unique -- indeed, films about the war in Iraq have become ubiquitous -- it shows empathy, sensitivity and dignity toward its subject. And Feldbusch never waivers: Terrorism, he says, is the foe; the war is justified. Whether audiences cheer or groan depends on their point of view.”
--John Anderson, Variety

“…lucid knockout of a movie…Home Front develops cathartic power from the filmmaker's sensitivity to character.”
--Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun

Directed by: Richard Hankin
