DESCRIPTION:When I Came Home is a documentary film about homeless veterans in America, 
 from those who served in Vietnam to those returning from the current war in 
 Iraq. The film looks at the challenges faced by returning combat veterans 
 and the battle many must fight to receive their benefits from the Veterans 
 Administration. \n\nThrough the story of Herold Noel, a homeless Iraq war 
 veteran suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and living out of his 
 car in Brooklyn, the film reveals a failing system and the veteran’s 
 struggle to survive after returning from the war.  When I Came Home follows 
 Herold’s battle with homelessness and PTSD as he tries to get help from 
 the VA, city agencies, and various veterans organizations.  With 
 temperatures dropping in New York, Herold meets fellow vet Paul Rieckhoff, 
 founder of the country’s largest Iraq veteran advocacy organization. What 
 follows is a media blitz that transforms the young, homeless veteran into 
 the leader of a new movement.\n\n
