115 Grains(en)
115 Grains is the inspired-by-true-events story of a police officer named Matthew Sanders (Evan Gamble, Fear the Walking Dead) who suffers from PTSD and suicidal ideation after horrific experiences he’s both seen on the job and personally experienced as a child. Forced to seek council from an unorthodox therapist (Eugenie Bondurant, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It), Sanders must attempt to resolve his inner turmoil through experimental hypnosis that sends him back in time to face his past. Written and directed by Florida-based filmmaker Andrew Kiaroscuro, whose own father Benjamin passed from suicide when Andrew was 19 years old, 115 Grains is a personal and provocative exploration of the morality of being a police officer — an examination of not just what it means to the individual who puts on the badge, but to the community of people they serve.

The documentary delves deep into this complex history and analyzes the hot and cold wars that shaped the development of the USA, along with lessons for the future. How have generations of Americans experienced these wars and how have their lives been changed by them? How has military engagement been used to shape the image and role of the USA on the world stage? Do military decisions today shape the world of tomorrow and what are the effects on democracy and society? And as the US president begins his new term in office, the question also arises: what role does the army play in Donald Trump's understanding of the world?
