This film follows a man living in the present while part of him remains somewhere else.
Some wounds are not visible.
Some wars do not end when the fighting stops.
Before judging someone you pass on the street,
what it would have been like for you
to walk in their shoes
to have seen and experienced
what they have seen and experienced.
consider what it might mean to live with memories that never stay in the past.
This work is offered in memory of my father, whose life was deeply affected by his war experience, and for all who continue to carry battles long after they are declared over.
More films and paintings exploring these themes will be released in the coming months.
Follow future work at

and on this YouTube channel.
If this film moved you, take one moment today before you look away from someone struggling in public.
We rarely know what battles a person has already survived.
Thank you for watching.
this Video is dedicated to my very kind Father, Thaddeus Edwin Prazynski
1912-1956
who dies of a self-inflicted would
and to all those who suffer the ravages of war.
