Through Our Eyes

This introspective portrait of loss intertwined with moments of joy reminds us of the forgotten consequences of the criminal justice system – the families of those left behind. Apart shares the experiences of three resilient children navigating the complex emotional challenges of their parents incarceration as their families work to provide stability and support.

In the US, more than three million children live in homes with servicemembers and veterans who rely on caregiver support. Gabby, Terry, and Luther all have parents who were injured while serving, and each family has found a way to heal the wounds of war.
