A Moment of Truth - Unbroken Soldiers - Bobby Barrera

Produced in partnership with Disabled American Veterans (DAV), the Unbroken Soldiers short form documentary series tells the stories of our nation's military veterans and their journeys of triumph from tragedy. Bobby Barrera is a US Marine Corp veteran, wounded six weeks into his Vietnam service. With severe burn wounds covering his body and an amputated arm, Barrera recalls his darkest moment of recovery when he asked his father to shoot him. Now, years later and with the love of his wife carrying him along, Barrera counsels other wounded veterans struggling with suicide.
