Leave No Soldier
Q and A with director/producer Donna Bassin
The grief of war comes home when veterans pledge to "leave no fallen soldier behind." Leave No Soldier follows two groups of veterans, divided by their politics, but united in their move from mourning to activism, as they respond to war abroad and domestic disaster on the Gulf Coast. In 2006, echoing the sounds of combat, Rolling Thunder gathered on motorcycles by the thousands in the nation’s capitol to remember their fallen comrades and remind the government of its debt to those alive. Veterans for Peace marched from Mobile to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina to repair houses and lives and to demonstrate their opposition to the war in Iraq. We come to know intimately eight of these men and women who reveal their passage from grief and rage to agency and solidarity.
