“German Ridge” by Sam Sulam
In the heart of the South Carolina wilderness, Ed, a weary game warden and military veteran, embarks on a routine patrol at German Ridge. What begins as a simple task turns harrowing when he stumbles upon an abandoned meth lab and the body of a young teenager. This discovery triggers a haunting PTSD episode, as Ed envisions his own son in place of the corpse. Battling waves of panic and despair, he grapples with the isolating nature of his trauma. Returning home, Ed struggles to fulfill his roles as a father and husband, yet finds solace in the unwavering support of his wife, Morgan. The film delves into the profound question: Can someone truly suffer alone?
