“Behind every act of valor, there is love.”
Dairus talks with award winning documentary producer Justin Roberts. While serving in Afghanistan as an Army Chaplain in the 101st Airborne Division’s “NO SLACK” battalion, Justin armed his Soldiers with Go Pro cameras. He wanted to capture their experiences.
But the war was far more intense than he imagined it would be.
And their experiences needed to be shared and processed and seen.
The result: An award winning film called No Greater Love.
No Greater Love layers real war footage with interviews with Soldiers and Gold Star Family Members. Roberts’ battalion, NO SLACK, came home with over 200 Purple Hearts.
“The only way that you can really come back from war is with love. And it has to come from friends, it has to come from family members, neighbors, and the people you were fighting for, and it has to come from each other. That is the only way we can fully come home.”
