"Bridgeport to Baghdad:  Citizen Again” tells the story of West Virginia Reservists adjusting to civilian life after serving a year in Iraq.  In compelling and very personal interviews, five combat veterans describe the joys and challenges of coming home. Their family members share their perspective on what can often be a difficult transition. 

The soldiers talk about the lessons they learned from war.  They tell about their need to be alone while fitting back into home life and about the pain of missing a year in the lives of their children.  The documentary also tackles the major adjustment issues of depression and post-traumatic stress.
