Synopsis

Finding Home chronicles the extraordinary resilience of U.S. Marine Raider Aaron Silton. In 2009, Silton was shot in the face during a prolonged firefight in Afghanistan. The film follows his physical and emotional recovery through more than fifty surgeries, years of rehabilitation, and the immense challenge of rebuilding his life after catastrophic injury. A central element of his recovery became golf, which provided both a therapeutic outlet and a new sense of purpose. Through perseverance, family support, and determination, Silton gradually reclaimed his identity and discovered a path forward. The film is a powerful story of resilience, recovery, and the capacity of sport to aid healing.
