From War to Wisdom documents the epic journey of an elite group of warriors from FOX 2/5, the most decorated battalion in the United States Marine Corps. You will ride along with them through two combat tours in Iraq, follow them as they return to a civilian society that no longer makes sense, and witness their determined struggle to find new missions on the home front - new ways to serve their fellow veterans and the country at large. This unique, solution-focused documentary is a vivid, character-driven mosaic of the many ways these veterans continue to serve. Some help transition homeless veterans into employment and housing opportunities, others train service dogs to deal with symptoms of PTSD. Some are artists, others entrepreneurs, and all have dedicated their lives to serving their brothers and sisters in arms. Combat footage filmed by Vietnam Veteran and award-winning filmmaker Mike Cerre (GLOBE TV), who was embedded with FOX 2/5 during the invasion of Iraq and in Ramadi, is creatively woven throughout the film, often evoking the flashbacks that accompany PTSD, Hyper-vigilance, and Traumatic Brain Injury. Though many films have addressed the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, none have told this unique story. This not a pro-war or anti-war film. It is a pro-veteran film, a film about solutions, a vision for a better future, a journey From War to Wisdom.

Narrated by Tom Selleck: Sunday, December 7, 1941 was a beautiful morning on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. A few sailors and soldiers were already up and playing a game of football near Pearl Harbor. Others were sleeping in their barracks or aboard ships after a late night of partying in Honolulu. An unlucky few were wiping the sleep from their eyes and reporting for duty aboard their ship anchored off Ford Island in Pearl Harbor. Still others headed for adjacent Hickam Field or up north to Wheeler Field. Ship decks were being washed, planes wiped down and hangars swept. It was just another day in paradise. At 7:48 A.M. all that changed as the first Japanese planes dropped their bombs and started firing their guns at stunned American soldiers and sailors. The United States had been violently thrown into World War II. Every sailor, airman, soldier and civilian who was in or near Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 has their own individual story of courage, fear, heroics or tragedy. No two stories from that day of infamy are the same. From sailors on the U.S.S Arizona and West Virginia on Battleship Row to pilots at Hickam and Wheeler Fields, to young children who were waved at by Japanese pilots flying over their homes, the memories remain vivid to this day. These are some of their stories from December 7, 1941. They will always Remember Pearl Harbor.
