Now playing at www.INTHIERBOOTS.com: Fractured Minds

Fractured Minds follows veterans through their treatment in the Houston-based Project Victory Program, a collaborative effort by TIRR Foundation and TIRR Memorial Hermann which helps wounded service members recover and successfully integrate back into the community. The film features four veterans living with TBI, including Claudia’s efforts to maintain her relationship with the daughter she doesn’t remember giving birth to, Daniel’s dedication to retrain his brain to compute math problems that used to come easy to him, Mark’s battle to conquer his injury-induced stuttering, and Bob’s drive to become a motivational speaker after surviving a life-threatening brain injury in Iraq. Through these personal stories of struggle and triumph, we begin to understand the diversity and complexity of TBI in veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Fractured Minds

We are close to finishing our latest film, Fractured Minds. Here is a sneak peek:



A recent Department of Defense report stated that the number of U.S. troops who have suffered wartime brain injuries may be as high as 360,000—roughly 20 percent. Many say that traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the “signature injury” of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As the military, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and we as a society work to understand TBI, our latest film offers a fascinating snapshot of life with this common, yet incredibly complex injury.

Fractured Minds will be available on our website on the 24th of April, but people in the Houston, TX area can catch the world premiere screening on April 22nd as part of the IN THEIR BOOTS On The Road National Tour. Details here.
