HELL AND BACK AGAIN is a cinematic non-fiction film that is hard to shake even days after experiencing it. The film, and its filmmaker, are ones to watch." -- indieWIRE, Eugene Hernandez "HELL AND BACK AGAIN has a surprisingly glossy, cinematic look, be it the bright sun of Afghanistan or the neon and streetlights of North Carolina. The film has an intimacy and directness that brings a heightened sense of emotion to such everyday things." -- Los Angeles Times, Mark Olsen
