Walking Wounded

An emotionally charged and uncompromising look at the experiences of young ex-soldiers as they adapt to civilian life. Twenty-six-year-old Graham is a classically trained pianist and first-class paratrooper. Within six months of leaving the military he'd become a heroin addict, sleeping rough in Glasgow. He now exists in a tiny high-rise flat, finding salvation in the works of Bach and Chopin, and hopes for a new home and new life. Thirty-eight-year-old Chris from Nottinghamshire suffers from acute post-traumatic stress disorder following his tours of Bosnia and Iraq during the first Gulf War. A spiral of anger, drink and depression ended in the loss of his family, business and home, leaving him sleeping rough in London. Moving to Edinburgh with the promise of a new life, Chris enters a maze of benefit systems and Veterans charities. Twenty-nine-year-old Trevor served in Iraq. He left the military five years ago but continues to have real anger issues. Unable to adapt to 'civvy street', Trevor is trapped in a cycle of criminal behaviour and court hearings. Trevor's plea for help has been answered by a small Veterans drop-in centre near Glasgow - can they help him when all else has failed?
