Plot summary

In this documentary five severely wounded Iraq/Afghanistan veterans work with professional comedy writers and A-List comedians Lewis Black, Zach Galifianakis, BJ Novak, and Bob Saget to explore their personal experiences through the healing power of humor. Writing their own stand-up comedy routines they find new perspectives from which to view their injuries and their lives - all of which culminates in a performance at two of LA's top comedy clubs.

Incredible film

I am a big fan of documentary film, and this is one of my favorites of the last few years. The service men and women of the US go through quite a bit in their time serving they suffer physical and mental traumas few would understand. In this film comedy is used to help them get through their issues. Many candid moments between professional comics and these war veterans really make the film authentic, you can tell that these men need a form of therapy and the comedians help them to achieve that. Few stories manage to grab you from the start, and keep your attention until the end, but this one does. Documentary film making is supposed to transport you into another persons life, to help you understand their lives better, and this film does exactly that.

Inspirational Documentary

I know a couple of service men and women. They sacrifice so much for us and they endure so much trauma. I have a friend she can barely talk about what she saw and experienced. It was with this backdrop that I watched "Comedy Warriors". In the movie 5 veterans all injured during their time in Iraq and Afghanistan receive guidance from accomplished stand-up Comedians like Bob Saget, Lewis Black and Zack Galifianakis. It was really cool watching them improve their material and how at ease they were on stage, but the best part was watching how they are using comedy to overcome their traumatic injuries. I left the film feeling good and inspired. A must for all fans of uplifting documentaries!
