Dispatches
Battle Scarred (2009x28)
Data emisji: Wrz 07, 2009
As British forces fight on two fronts in military operations, award-winning filmmaker David Modell examines the devastating trauma suffered by many soldiers - which leaves no visible scars, but great psychological injury.
The programme tells the moving stories of four soldiers as a result of their experiences in combat zones.
To many here, the conflicts may seem remote, but this film provides an intimate portrait of its impact on the lives of individual soldiers and their families.
Examining the consequences of long and repeated tours of duty, the film raises serious questions about the adequacy of existing support structures to help returning soldiers cope with any trauma they may be suffering.
In addition to the film, this website details more individual cases, plus information and research into the key issues of alcohol, mental health, relationships and suicide.
