Ground Operations: Battlefields to Farmfields (Film) is "an award-winning documentary film and social action campaign that focuses on veterans experiencing PTSD, and the rehabilitation that farming has provided them."

Synopsis

Ground Operations follows the story of combat veterans who operated in the armed forces, and served in Iraq and Afghanistan. This documentary goes through each individual’s story from joining their respective branches, to how the war has changed them personally. It also follows each person's story as they transition to civilian life, and struggle with a highly flawed Department of Veterans Affairs. This leads them all unknowingly to the world of organic farming, which helps them heal from their traumatic emotional scars. The farming serves as a duel purpose to fix a damaged agricultural system, and helps calm the PTSD exacerbated by War Traumas, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

À seulement 60 miles au nord de New York se trouve la ville pauvre de Newburgh, où, en 2009, quatre hommes ont été arrêtés pour un plan visant à bombarder deux centres juifs dans le Bronx. Mais leur chef, un homme d'affaires pakistanais suspect placé par le gouvernement comme informateur, a conduit ces hommes directement entre les mains des autorités. Avec des images sans fin recueillies à partir de caméras cachées, les réalisateurs David Heilbroner et Kate Davis enquêtent sur ce que signifie vraiment le terrorisme local dans cet exposé choquant et galvanisant.

During the Cold War, four adversaries with conflicting interests face off in the African continent: the Soviets want to expand their influence; the United States intend to appropriate the continent's natural riches; the former empires seek to revive their shaky colonial power; and the young nations defend their newly-won independence, armed with an ideal: internationalism. African revolutionaries like Patrice Lumumba, Amílcar Cabral and Agostinho Neto call on Cuban guerrillas to help them in their struggle. Cuba will play a central role on the continent. From Che Guevara's tragicomic epic in the Congo up to the triumph of the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale in Angola, this film tells the story of the internationalists whose saga is at the basis of today's word: they won all the battles, but end up losing the war.

Chorus girls Irene and Joan are discussing the war in their dressing room. Joan flicks through a copy of Picture Post with "Your Country Needs You" on the cover, and says she doesn't think she'd be cut out for war work and doesn't like being made to feel guilty about not volunteering. Irene says she has been thinking about it. As they leave by the stage door, a woman faints on the pavement in front of them. A newspaper seller says that the woman has just finished a 12 hour shift in a munitions factory and is exhausted, and that such long hours are necessary because of the shortage of workers.
