Nathan Harris. The film seamlessly transitions from stunning war reportage to an intimate, visceral portrait of one manís personal struggle at home in North Carolina, where Harris confronts the physical and emotional difficulties of re-adjusting to civilian life with the love and support of his wife, Ashley. An unprecedented exploration of the moving image and a film of uncommon intimacy, ìHell and Back Againî comes full circle as it reveals the true cost of war.
