We have learned a great deal about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder since the early 1980s, but we know less about its ripple effects on a family.

Canadian filmmaker Laura Sky has produced a documentary series on this subject, called  Soldiers' Children: the Voices of Children in Military Families Living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. 

This is a collection of short films about the fallout of PTSD and the way children of all ages cope - and in some cases, don't cope - with a parent who returns from active duty with psychological damage.
