WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Jason Lopez’s performance is Oscar-worthy, as is Mr. Godin’s film. Jason captures the torment of these tortured vets in an uncanny and powerful performance that reminds one of the performances of Christopher Walken and John Savage in The Deer Hunter, as well as Jon Voight’s and Bruce Dern’s performances in Coming Home. Godin’s film expertly, sensitively, and powerfully deals with the issues of PTSD.”
"After watching PTSD several times together with a group of British military veterans, we've collectively remarked that this movie, above all others of similar genre, tells the truth about the devastating impact of war upon the individual. A huge big thanks for the skill and empathy portrayed by the lead actor Jason Lopez."
—John Mc Dermott | Veteran and Founder of Aftermath PTSD
"Jason and Cedric are geniuses! The collaboration made a very remarkable and powerful statement that needs to be heard and understood. Many people have heard of PTSD and they talk about it, but unless they, a family member or friend, have experienced it, they don't truly understand. The movie will bring the true meaning to light! Thank you for sharing the message and including Canine Companions."
—Debra Dougherty | Northeast Region; Executive Director of Canine Companions
"Thanks for making a very poignant film on an important topic. You were splendid. Incredible film. I spent 70 months in Iraq and Afghanistan as an infantryman and officer, and will tell you the year I got out and moved to NYC was the worst year of my life - required every bit of strength to get back on my horse after a dark year. I think you hit a home run if it represents the combined isolation, social conflict, rage, despair, mental/emotional conflicts, etc... Your film was me the first 2 years back."
—LTC Don Makay | Chief of Plans – G5, 42nd Infantry Division
"Until last night, I thought I knew all I needed to know about PTSD. I want to thank you for really bringing it home to me (and everyone who sees your fantastic film)! You're doing a great service to people with this disability. Hopefully, within a couple of years, Veterans Administration doctors can write a prescription for an assistance dog, instead of psychotropic drugs. Thanks so much for including us in your triumph. All the accolades were richly deserved."
—John Bentzinger | Public Relations Northeast Region Canine Companions for Independence
“Let’s give it UP to this incredible film directed by Cedric Godin. Such a crafted film in the strict sense of the word. Jason Lopez will be a major star. His acting ability in film is amazing and he has the looks TO KILL, ladies! Watch out men, this guy is coming strong! Big star written all over him. Big time!”
"PTSD is a great subject matter that more people need to know about. Well done."
—Cindy Cowan | Producer (Traffic, Very Bad Things, Dr T and The Women, Red Lights)
