We chat with the award-winning filmmaker and producer Conrad Weaver about his PTSD911 movie experience. He talks about how it led him to mental health advocacy.
While promoting his documentary, his goal is to shine a light on the mental health struggles our first responders face.
Conrad’s knack for meaningful storytelling has led him to awards, including a Mid-America Regional EMMY® Award. Plus, he’s taken his passion for mental wellness on the road—literally—with a cross-country bike trip to spread the word. Get ready to be inspired by Conrad’s journey and his mission to promote mental health!
More About the PTSD911 Movie
PTSD911 is a compelling new documentary that dives into the unspoken mental health struggles of first responders. Many first responders don’t process their trauma after critical events, leaving them vulnerable and in need of support.
Conrad Weaver, who knows this firsthand from riding along with many of these heroes, sheds light on their stories. First responders sign up to serve, risking their lives and mental health to help on someone’s worst day. But who’s there to rescue them?
The PTSD911 movie tells their story through their own powerful accounts. We talked about this in our conversation with Public Safety Leader Buddy Brooks.
