Iraq War veteran Herold Noel suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and lives out of his car in Brooklyn. Using Noel's story as a fulcrum, this doc examines the wider issue of homeless U.S. military veterans-from Vietnam to Iraq-who have to fight tooth-and-nail to receive the benefits promised to them by their government.

“When I Came Home is, regardless of how pessimistic it seems, still quite inspiring and will hopefully be very influential. There is no reason for the government to ignore vets at home anymore than they should abroad. For any conservative politician who spouted nonsense about how Americans who are against the war are also against the troops, this film is a must-see. For everyone else, it is simply a reminder of hypocrisy and historical recurrence.”
--Christopher Campbell, Tribeca Review
