In Waves and War

Grd in waves and war

From PTSD to possibility with psychedelics – rewiring what war broke.

In Waves and War was the winner of the “Facing the Edge” category and Best Sound (International) at Doc Edge Awards 2025.

After years of combat, highly decorated Navy SEAL Marcus Capone returns home broken, battling treatment-resistant PTSD, brain trauma, and depression. With traditional therapies failing, his wife Amber turns to a last hope: an unapproved psychedelic treatment showing extraordinary promise. Marcus’ recovery is nothing short of miraculous, sparking a new mission for the couple, saving fellow veterans from the same fate.

Blending intimate storytelling, stunning animation, and cutting-edge science from Stanford’s Brain Stimulation Lab, this powerful film follows three American heroes on a deeply emotional journey to heal the invisible wounds of war, and reclaim life, love, and purpose.

Directed by Doc Edge alumni Shenk and Cohen (The Island President).

Dedicated to Executive Producer Diane Weyermann, Doc Edge Superhero (1955 – 2021).
