Over the past two years, the team behind Invisible Injuries has had the privilege of working alongside an incredible group of veterans, families, clinicians, researchers and leaders to tell a story that is deeply personal, but also much bigger than any one individual.
While the documentary follows the journey of Invisible Injuries founder Andy Fermo and his experiences with PTSD and life after service, the film has evolved into a broader conversation about service, transition, trauma, recovery, and the different ways veterans carry their experiences forward over time.
What makes this project special is that it doesn’t stop at awareness. It explores lived experience, clinical insight, mateship, family, purpose, and practical tools that help people rebuild, reconnect, and continue moving forward.
Throughout the filming process, the production team has spoken with veterans, families, clinicians, researchers and senior leaders from both Australia and overseas. From campfire conversations and reflections on service, to discussions around recovery and resilience, the documentary seeks to create meaningful conversations around veteran wellbeing and mental health.
The hope is that Invisible Injuries encourages people to talk, listen, and better understand the realities faced by many veterans and their families. Recovery is rarely a straight line, and every person’s journey is different.
A huge thank you to Kelly Bergsma, Double Shot Creative Studios, HALO Films, Adam Darnley-Stewart / Redwood Group, our contributors, supporters, and everyone who has trusted us with their stories and helped bring this project to life.
This is only the beginning of the journey. As the documentary moves towards screenings, community conversations, and broader audience engagement, we look forward to sharing more along the way.
For many veterans, the hardest battle begins when they come home.I...
