We'll also talk with Rockhurst High School graduate Sean Hackett about his film Homecoming, which is showing on Saturday at the FilmFest. Hackett describes Homecoming as "a love letter to the young men and women that missed out on the "college experience" due to their military obligations in Iraq/Afghanistan. Almost a decade into this war and many soldiers feel misperceived, unrecognized, and unsure where they will belong when this unpopular war is over. As filmmakers, the cast and crew dared themselves to stay away from war film"hot topics" (PTSD, Injuries, Alcoholism, Politics) and focus on a deeper subject that applies to what these men and women sacrificed - their 20s.
