Danfung Dennis “To Hell and Back Again”: Meet the Filmmaker




Meet the Filmmaker show

Summary: Meet the Filmmaker: Join photojournalist and filmmaker Danfung Dennis as he discusses his Sundance Film Festival 2011 World Cinema Grand Jury Award and Cinematography Award- winning documentary. In the film, Dennis reveals the devastating impact a Taliban machine-gun bullet has on the life of 25-year-old Sergeant Nathan Harris. The film seamlessly transitions from stunning war reportage to an intimate, visceral portrait of one man’s 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. Masterfully contrasting the intensity of the frontline with the normalcy of home, “To Hell and Back Again” lays bare the true cost of war.
