On April 25, 2019 at 5:30 p.m. at the Coos Bay Public Library there will be a screening of the insightful documentary Project 22. This event is sponsored by Coos County Veteran Services. In the United States alone, twenty-two Veterans commit suicide per day. The film, Project 22, follows two combat-wounded Veterans on a mission to find hope. Riding motorcycles from San Francisco to New York, Daniel and Doc speak with Veterans about post-war challenges that lead to suicide and the healing Veterans are finding in alternative forms of therapy such as sailing, pottery, education, service dogs and more. During the 6,500-mile journey, the riders interview leading researchers, mental health clinicians and educators who specialize in Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Traumatic Stress, as well as, a leading expert in Warrior Culture and Combat Stress. Asking hard hitting questions and opening up about their own struggles, Daniel and Doc will stop at nothing to reach tomorrow’s twenty-two.
