About this title

Synopsis

"A raw account of what it is like to walk closely with the wounded." — T. Alborough

"Beautiful and heartbreaking." — C. Ruhan

Every adult addict was a child in their past. What happened to James and Elle when they were children?

Follow James and Elle as they remember dark pieces of their childhood, and fumble their way through adulthood, searching for a place to belong. As a lost and disillusioned twenty-year-old, James joins the Australian Army. A tragic accident occurs while he is serving in Afghanistan and he returns as a shadow of himself. James' sister, Elle, tries to support him as he spirals into addiction.

Prepare yourself to experience a powerful insight into the ways PTSD affects the characters and their relationships. James and Elle is a deep dive into the dynamics of familial love, responsibility, and the challenges of supporting a family member in crisis. You will be moved, inspired, outraged, and reminded of the enduring strength found within the human spirit. Based on a true story, James & Elle delicately reflects a deeply personal perspective of having—and walking alongside—a loved one with PTSD.
