ABOUT
Decorated US Army combat Veteran Calvin Cole (Grayhm), is court ordered into treatment and into the care of a VA trauma therapist in-training (Madsen), who still works the night shift at a diner to pay for college. Things become even more complicated when Calvin's father-in-law and retired Vietnam Veteran (Curtis Hall), shows up on his doorstep, having just been released from prison. When Calvin's plan to run from the past blows up in his face, he learns through tough love and compassion that he must put himself back together again.
Shot on location in Western Massachusetts, SHEEPDOG aims to lift the veil on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that is responsible for the Veteran Suicide Epidemic. It is the first film for this generation that truly explores the physical and psychological repercussions of trauma, with a focus on Post Traumatic Growth (PTG). It is an uplifting original story, inspired by countless first-hand testimonials about recovery, redemption, and the journey of healing; themes that now mirror our post-pandemic zeitgeist. Top Film Critic Tony Toscana calls SHEEPDOG, "One of the best films of the year"
