Directed by Joshua Caldwell. A runtime of two hours and two minutes. Streaming on Netflix with an R rating.
"Colter," played by Sinqua Walls, is a Marine. He was injured in Afghanistan, but now, after months of rehab, he finds himself in Montana at a V. A. facility, trying to get cleared to go back to active duty.
"Lucy," played by Perry Mattfeld, works at the local library. She volunteers a lot at the V. A. She's trying to get out of a depression fog after her fiance died. He also served. But it seems like all of her surroundings keep bringing her down mentally.
Then you have "Ike," played by Brian Cox. He served long ago. After getting through a lot of his demons, he uses fly fishing as a cure. But not quite all of his demons have been expunged. He's also facing a race against time.
A doctor at the V. A., "Dr. Burke," played by Patricia Heaton, thinks of a unique way to help "Ike" and "Colter." Watch how the power of fly fishing brings these three individuals together. In this powerful true story.
"Mending the Line" was a great film. I like the fact that when they do films revolving around vets and PTSD, the films are usually done right. A lot of times, they are based on real stories and send a powerful message. All the actors were amazing. Who knew fly fishing could be used as a rehab mechanism?
This film was great from the beginning to the end. It had an ending that made you smile and feel good. I hope anyone struggling with PTSD or just struggles from war sees this film. Maybe fly fishing can be a tool to help them. I give this film five mor fires 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
