Not Yet Begun to Fight On-Demand

Not Yet Begun To Fight

Visit the Desert Training Center in the Mojave desert, where one million soldiers prepared to enter WWII. Major General George S. Patton, Jr. said in 1942, “We cannot train troops to fight in the desert of North Africa by training in the swamps of Georgia.” In the space between war and a new battle, NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT unfolds. Hastings reaches out to five men, a new generation returning from war. He brings them to the river and shares his secret: there are places where you can still be consumed by a simple act, find joy in a fight, and be redeemed as you gently release another creature, unharmed, into quiet waters.

This program is a part of the VETERANS CONNECTION, an initiative  to draw awareness to the issues faced by of veterans.
