In this week’s PTSD and Beyond Podcast, we're honored to welcome the directors of the powerful film The Keeper, Angus Benfield and Kendall Bryant. Written by Todd Tavolazzi, The Keeper tells the true story of George Eshleman, an Army veteran who embarks on a 2,000 mile monumental hike along the Appalachian trail, carrying 363 military name tapes attached to his backpack honoring his fallen brothers and sisters and to raise awareness about veteran suicide.

Join us as we discuss the making of The Keeper, the significance of George’s journey, and the much needed conversation around veteran mental health. Angus and Kendall share their insights on translating this moving story to the screen and the impact they hope the film will have on viewers and our veterans.

The Keeper is in theaters nationwide on Memorial Day, May 27, 2024. Listen to this heartfelt conversation about healing, resilience, and the real-life inspiration behind it; and remember to share with someone who may find this podcast episode valuable.
