Description

Conrad Weaver is a documentary filmmaker whose dedicated his life to telling stories that matter. 
Stories that make a difference and stories that define the many problems we all face in tangible ways that help us better understand the situation and positions us to take action and engage solutions. 
PTSD911 is a powerful new documentary that explores the story of first responders and the stress of the job from interviews with first responders who are struggling to cope with the impact of repetitive trauma exposure. 
This documentary serves as a message of hope to first responders and the community helping us to better understand that healing is possible and it examines the risks of not taking care of yourself and failing to recognize and respond to the signs of declining mental health. 
Conrad exposes us to the human behind the uniform and the struggles and stigmas first responders face when seeking help. 
First responders take care of us on our worst days and this film asks the some importiant questions, who will take care of them and How do we create a culture of wellness within our organizations? 
This film inspires lasting systemic change, ending stigmas and it raises awareness of the work that still needs to be done normalizing the understanding that it’s ok to not be okay.
