BURIED ABOVE GROUND is a feature-length documentary that interweaves unforgettable stories of individuals battling and trying to overcome the paralyzing and psychotic symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a devastating anxiety disorder that develops after exposure to a serious traumatic event such as a rape, kidnapping, domestic assault, car accident, plane crash, terrorist attack, bombing, or natural disaster. Approximately 8% of people in the United States will develop PTSD, while the lifetime prevalence of the disorder amongst combat veterans and rape victims is even higher, ranging from 10% to as high as 30%. The symptoms of PTSD can include flashbacks, long-term severe depression, dissociation, emotional numbness, avoidance, substance abuse, suicide, dislocation, and social retreat. BURIED ABOVE GROUND documents the harrowing stories of Americans living with the burdens of PTSD--a soldier returning from service in the Middle East, Hurricane Katrina survivor, as well as a rape and domestic violence survivor. With these stories, BURIED ABOVE GROUND will take the realities of living with PTSD out of the shadows and allow audiences to experience the emotional, medical, and financial costs of this growing mental health epidemic.
