the fifth estate marks the imminent arrival of Veterans Week (Nov. 5-11) with tonight's provocative documentary Broken Heroes, a look at Canadian Forces veterans struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after serving multiple tours in conflict zones like Afghanistan.
The report is filed by Gillian Findlay, who shares stories of three Canadian soldiers who have battled severe depression and a military system struggling to provide them (and other veterans) with effective treatment upon their return to Canada.
Findlay is the reporter who last season spent almost a month in Afghanistan and presented the fifth's remarkable Life and Death in Kandahar, an hour-long account of Canadian Forces medical personnel working at the multinational hospital at Kandahar Air Field.
