Walk with Frank (2021)

Walk With Frank is a film about self discovery, mental health, and one man's journey towards understanding and embracing PTSD. Ambushed and critically wounded in the jungles of Vietnam, Frank's life went down a dark spiral of drug and alcohol abuse, prison, and family discord. As a cathartic release of his mental anguish he discovered art as a means to heal himself and help others find their own path forward For his 70th birthday Frank decided to walk across New York State as a way to gain attention to his cause, his education curriculum and to give a voice to so many suffering from PTSD. By walking Frank hopes to shed light on the true experience of the American soldier, the ongoing struggles facing the mental health and homeless communities, and hopefully inspire others to open up about their own mental illness.
