BEYOND THE SCREEN
THE KEEPER IS MORE THAN A FILM; IT IS A CATALYST FOR REAL-WORLD CONNECTION. WHILE THE MOVIE SHARES ONE MAN'S JOURNEY THROUGH THE DARKNESS, THE KEEPER PROJECT IS OUR BOOTS-ON-THE-GROUND INITIATIVE DESIGNED TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE SURROUNDING VETERAN MENTAL HEALTH NATIONWIDE.
"You are never alone. Not on the trail. Not in the struggle. Not in the community. Opening up and asking for help is not a sign of weakness—it is a gesture of love to those who care about us." — George Eshleman, U.S. Army Veteran & Subject of The Keeper
