Director Statement
This film was incredibly important to me. My father was a firefighter in the London Fire Brigade for more than 20 years, before being medically retired with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. PTSD is still a condition which is overlooked and misunderstood, and effects the emergency services all over the world, so it was important for me to present a platform for their stories to be heard. I interviewed firefighters, police officers and paramedics from all over the UK, all of whom had been affected by PTSD.
