My Brother’s Keeper – Ty Manns, Writer/Producer
Based loosely upon his Father’s experiences with PSTD from the Vietnam war, Ty gives us a powerful movie on this subject. He draws us in with realistic pictures of the internal battle as well as the effect on those around the one suffering. As with his father, faith became the hope and way to begin responding and healing from this debilitating trauma. This movie is incredibly well done and the acting is top level in bringing the feelings home. In theaters first quarter 2021. Keep an eye out for this one!
