Westworld won’t be back until 2020 but Jeffrey Wright is not sitting idle until he has to return to the world of Bernard and multiple timelines. In fact, he has created a new documentary for HBO titled, We Are Not Done Yet, the stories of ten U.S. veterans is followed as they work to heal from their trauma through the arts (poetry, art, and performance).
Wright is the producer alongside David Holbrook and Sara Hairabedian is the director behind this emotional piece that will give a voice to a group of people that is often overlooked. By releasing this documentary, the hope is to shed light on PTSD and what one goes through as a result of it.
Wright of Westworld fame is very active throughout the documentary and even directs a stage performance the group of veterans puts on. Through the arts, the veterans get an opportunity to convey their feelings on and off the battlefield.
We Are Not Done Yet is quite the emotional journey and an insight into the struggles veterans must overcome as they look ahead to their future and how to move forward in the wake of their trauma.
