Topic: A feature-length documentary film, "Buried Above Ground," portraying the stories of individuals affected by post-traumatic stress disorder.

Published Work:

Buried Above Ground is a documentary film that interweaves the unforgettable stories of a veteran home from Iraq, a Hurricane Katrina survivor, and a woman who endured child abuse, domestic violence, and rape, all battling the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

When 28-year-old Mutinta Mweemba first shares all the hopes and dreams she once nurtured as a child, her aspirations seem no different from those of many other young women around the world. She dreams of meeting and falling in love with a handsome man, being married and raising children and hopefully one day providing those children with a better life than her own.
