A sinister evil is eating away at the Canadian Armed Forces. Since 1990, growing numbers of peace missions have substantially increased the incidence of post-traumatic stress. Nightmares, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, anger and physical ailments, are the daily lot of 15-20% of soldiers - a complex syndrome that neither time nor medicine is yet able to cure. Through the poignant testimonies of a few men and one woman, discharged for reasons of health, Luc Côté sheds light on this still taboo subject. In stories of devastated lives and eviscerated souls, Crash Landing reveals the true face of war and its deadly power of destruction. A film of great sensitivity that questions the State and all of humanity.
