Episode 17 -The Horrors of PTSD: Behind the Movie 'A Soldier's Descent'

n today's episode, Mike speaks to Carissa and Andrew Pearson, the Executive Producer and actor playing the main character, Barney Griffith, respectively in the horror movie, "A Soldier's Descent". We speak about the origination of the movie, the process of "crowdsourcing" to finance its cost and the plot itself. The movie follows the story of the main character, a military veteran returning from war who had been a POW, and who had been subjected to torture during his captivity. After returning from war and suffering the loss of his best friend, the PTSD he had suffered from rears its ugly head and Barney embarks on a killing spree for revenge. Unfortunately, we've seen this plot line play itself out in real life w/ similar incidents as those portrayed in the movie and we delve into the horror of PTSD and the toll it exacts on the human psyche. ______________________________________________________________ FB - Carissa Pierson FB - Philip Herman's A Soldier's Descent IG: fireflycarissa IG: therealandrewpierson My IG: https://www.instagram.com/theresilientwarrior5778/ Learn more about your ad choices.
