CASUALITIES OF WAR tells the story of Leigh, a Special Forces soldier who served with the Australian Army in East Timor. Leigh believes that the hardest part of going to war is coming home. A year after Leigh returned from East Timor he reached breaking point and left the army. It is only now, four years later, he feels able to speak out about the realities of being a soldier. There is a world of silence that sits between those who have seen unspeakable acts of violence and those who have not.
