Aftershock

After Shock is a short documentary following Ryan, a British Army veteran who served in Iraq during Operation Telic 9. Using real footage from his deployment alongside present-day reflections, the film reveals the reality of military service and the lasting psychological impact it can carry. Fifteen years after returning home, Ryan is diagnosed with PTSD — a reminder that the trauma of war can remain hidden long after the battlefield is left behind. After Shock shines a light on the unseen cost of conflict and tells a deeply human story about service, memory, and the long journey veterans face once they return home.
