What happens between the battlefield and home? Aeromedical, an Emmy Award–winning documentary by Rebecca Abbott and Tim Malloy, takes you inside U.S. Air Force aeromedical evacuation missions that move wounded service members from combat zones to advanced care—often within hours, and sometimes back to the United States within days.
Filmed in Afghanistan, Germany, and the U.S., the documentary captures a life-saving system nearly a century in the making, from its beginnings in 1918 to today’s flying intensive care units aboard C-17, C-130, and KC-135 aircraft. The result is a survival rate approaching 98%. More than a story of combat, Aeromedical reveals the skill, urgency, and quiet dedication of the doctors, nurses, technicians, and aircrews—many from the National Guard and Reserve—who keep the wounded alive in the air.
Following the 28-minute film, join the Veterans Breakfast Club for a live conversation and Q&A with the filmmakers and aeromedical crew members. This VBC LIVE program offers a different view of war—not the fight itself, but the effort to bring people home.
