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.
