Film to help soldiers with PTSD

A new film based on the experiences of soldiers in the North West who have suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is about to be released.

It is hoped the film, called Advance to Contact, will encourage more soldiers and their families to talk about the condition.

Eddie Edwards, from Preston, was diagnosed with PTSD when he returned from Iraq. His family has struggled to cope with his illness. Peter Coulter reports.
