STORIES OF TRUE NORTH

Sailing to Salvation

Our pilot episode documents a group of distressed war veterans who, feeling alienated from society upon their return from duty, find healing and connection on the Chesapeake Bay.

​

Michael Wood returned from a combat mission in Afghanistan suffering from PTSD. At the insistence of friends concerned about his state of mind, Mike agreed to resume a pre-war pastime, sailing on the Bay, where he discovered a sense of purpose that had all but vanished. Mike soon realized that if competitive sailing could pull him from the depths of isolation and despair, it may help other veterans as well—and the Valhalla Sailing Project was born. Sailing to Salvation tells the story of one group of veterans’ resurgence from the dark recesses of PTSD.
