| When I Came Home is a documentary film about homeless veterans in America: from those who served in Vietnam to those returning from the current war in Iraq. The film looks at the challenges faced by returning combat veterans and the battle many must fight to receive their benefits from the Veterans Administration. | |
Through the story of Herold Noel, a homeless Iraq war veteran suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and living out of his car in Brooklyn, the film reveals a failing system and the veteran's struggle to survive after returning from the war. When I Came Home follows Herold's battle with homelessness and PTSD as he tries to get help from the VA, city agencies, and various veterans organizations. |
