Stop-Loss
The bravest place to stand is by each other's side.
You return from Iraq, tour complete. You expect parades, but receive orders to redeploy. The Army invokes “stop-loss,” a back-door draft. Peirce steadies the camera on stateside anguish. The film lingers in the space between duty and desertion.
