IS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON AT HOME?
A common question a Police Officer is asked when it becomes evident through behavior or job performance that there may be an underlying issue within their personal life.
Is There Something Going on at Home is a documentary film exploring the affects of trauma and PTSD on law enforcement professionals and their loved ones. Officers—and their spouses, children, and family members— share emotionally charged personal accounts of the devastating trauma experienced in the line of duty—and the short and long term impacts as they navigate an uncertain path forward to keep their family intact.
