Kate Blewett’s documentary shows the lasting effects of war and considers the way that three ex-soldiers look to cope with their traumas
Interviewed for this documentary about veterans living with post-traumatic stress disorder, war photographer Lalage Snow talks about her series of triptych portraits of soldiers: three photos, taken before, during and after deployment in Afghanistan.

Genesius Pictures (Good Luck To You Leo Grande, The Radleys) and Messy Hands Productions has debuted the trailer for the documentary ‘Disorder.’
The doc, previously announced by the production company as ‘The Rower’, has evolved as a raw portrayal of the impact of war on veterans as they put down their weapons, step away from danger and are thrust back into society with Ptsd.
We witness Ryan, Amber and Stuart trying to cope as civilians outside a war zone, having suffered trauma on many levels whilst protecting our freedom.
Blewett’s film is a raw portrayal of their daily existence: the challenges they face as they attempt to “normalise” their mental health. They try, but are sometimes unable, to reintegrate into society as an individual and as a collective, often living as hermits, behind closed doors. Featuring moving contributions from war journalist and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Sebastian Junger and writer, photojournalist and filmmaker,...
