Love & Trouble

Documentary, UK/Germany 2024, 52’ and 90’ 

Kenny and Kerry marry with secrets that almost blow their marriage apart. After their new baby is born, Kenny’s PTSD is triggered by his crying. Kenny no longer knows what is real, calls it ‘the screams’. It seems the marriage is over. But Kerry decides to go back to school, to study how the brain works, and discovers that suffering isn’t a given – you can do something about it. We follow their recovery over ten years, through psychiatric medication, talking therapy, horses, race-cars and ice swimming as they emerge with new insights and resilience for their life ahead.
