I agree totally with Karubj - "gone Elvis" needs to be made into a feature film. Excellent performances, particularly from lead Carla Duren. Newhoff's film is neither a heavy-handed political statement nor a cheap "support the troops" sticker. It is a stark look at the reality to which too many soldiers return after having put their lives on the line at the whim of our "leaders". Well shot, good soundtrack, realistic story and subtle, strong acting.
In the current economic malaise and this era of political grandstanding leading to stalemates for which the average citizen pays, "gone Elvis" is an important look at what our priorities are and should be. I strongly recommend this film.
