Synopsis

In the space between war and a new battle, NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT unfolds, offering an intimate look at the human cost of combat. A retired Marine Colonel reaches out to five men, a new generation returning from the battlefield. He brings them to the river. He puts a fly rod into their hand, teaches them to cast, and shares his secret: there are places where you can still be consumed by a simple act, find joy in a fight, and be redeemed as you gently release another creature, unharmed, into quiet waters.

cornfills A wonderfully moving film which shows the profound impact of warfare on veterans and their families. The film captures the strength of these wounded survivors and the dedication of those who wish to support them in their re-adjustment to civilian life. The movie is set in Montana, and the cinematography is breath-taking. This is not a political film, but a human-interest story which can't help but raise political questions. It doesn't take sides, and lets the veterans speak for themselves about their complex feelings about the war. It is a movie which you will find yourself thinking about for days if not months to come.
jfleemd Not yet begun to fight is the tale of the heroes injured in our modern wars. It chronicles how five of our severely injured modern warriors confront their fears injuries and handicaps and conquer them at the limits of their capabilities. True heroes all. The film even includes the presence of the wise master( a modern Yoda ) who directs and aids them in their quest for redemption. The vehicle is fly-fishing and the background or scene is played out on the waters of the Yellowstone and its tributaries in Montana. None of this is lost in the excellent cinematography and direction. Best of all these heroes do not play to a political agenda and the viewer is left with the theme of love and compassion.
melindapce Not Yet Begun to Fight is a poignant portrayal of the challenges facing five veterans from our modern war. Their injuries are deep, either to their emotional states or, to their physiology. This movie captures their bravery, fortitude and tenacity to overcome their wounds and make new lives for themselves. The scenery is beautifully captured in the serene atmosphere of a Montana river, where catharsis takes place for them. Any viewer who has the capacity to empathize with our brave veterans will be touched by the story portrayed in this film. You might find yourself picking a favorite veteran, because you resonate with the injuries or experiences in war which brought him to these waters. This film is reflective, relevant and engaging for viewers, and, provides hope for all of us who share in the fate of our beloved veterans.
rodi_montana As a life-long military brat and wife of a former military officer, I am so thrilled to finally see a film that shows the humanity, vulnerability, strength, and beauty of the military member. Regardless of your politics or beliefs about war, this film will inspire you to consider human nature in a new way. As a mental health therapist, I so appreciate the real-life glimpses into PTSD, TBI, and the ripple effect of both physical and emotional trauma. Not to mention the exquisite setting... The breathtaking and peaceful beauty of the rivers and mountains of Montana are the perfect backdrop for this presentation of struggle, human connection, and the possibility and hope of healing.
