When a single father deploys to Afghanistan, his sons go to live with relatives. "The Home Front" tells the story of their struggle to adjust, and what happens when they finally see him again.
Jury comments:
"This production embodies many of the simplest and most powerful elements of storytelling; great subjects that are articulate and emotional, a narrative arc with a transformation - actually two in this story - a bigger issue of both political and social significance embodied in the micro story, strong video and photography and a compelling visual and audio narrative that worked powerfully in concert with each other."
