The documentary "In Waves and War" follows U.S. Navy SEAL Marcus Capone, exploring his profound mental health struggles after years of combat. Co-directors Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk focus on Capone's battles with PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and depression that persisted despite traditional treatments. The narrative deepens with the introduction of ibogaine, an alternative therapy suggested by Capone's wife, Amber, which ultimately provides a glimmer of hope for his recovery. Their mission is to shed light on the often-overlooked mental health challenges faced by returning veterans and the potential of alternative treatments to aid their healing processes.
As Marcus and Amber told us their story, it got darker and more complex. What really got to us... is when Marcus described what had been possible for him to access with ibogaine.
We were watching Superman walk into the room, says Cohen, about meeting Marcus Capone, a highly decorated veteran with extreme challenges in civilian life.
