Buried Above Ground

Three Personal Stories About Battling PTSD

This documentary follows three Americans who are fighting ongoing battles with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - Luis, a combat veteran and author who has emerged as a leading advocate for PTSD awareness; Erundina, a survivor of child abuse and domestic violence who has battled addiction and relapse for many years; and Ashley, a New Orleans resident whose home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and returned to confront the aftermath.

BURIED ABOVE GROUND delves deeply inside the lives of its three subjects over an unprecedented six year journey. Using subjective framing, observational footage, and intimate interviews, the film unfolds with Luis, Erundina, and Ashley essentially narrating their own stories.
