Groundbreaking PTSD Documentary from Charles “Dr. Charlie” Powell, MD, Illuminates New Paths to Healing and Reimagines What Recovery Can Look Like
DALLAS, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HEALING HEROES NO MIND LEFT BEHIND, a powerful new documentary directed by veteran and physician Charles “Dr. Charlie” Powell, MD, that redefines the conversation around Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), will hold its world premiere on March 25 at the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas.
The highly-anticipated film offers an unflinching and deeply human look at the lives of veterans and first responders navigating trauma, resilience, and recovery. Rather than focusing solely on the struggles associated with PTSD, HEALING HEROES NO MIND LEFT BEHIND explores emerging and rediscovered paths to healing, challenging conventional narratives around mental health and treatment.
The documentary follows six individuals as they confront the invisible wounds of trauma and search for hope beyond traditional solutions. Through raw, intimate storytelling, the film captures courage, resilience, vulnerability, and the possibility of transformation – reminding audiences that healing is not one-size-fits-all.
“Making this documentary has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life,” said Dr. Powell. “Every day on set, I was deeply moved by the honesty, bravery, and resilience of the people sharing their stories. Filming this documentary gave me a front-row seat to the realities of trauma and the remarkable ways individuals work toward healing. I’m excited to finally share their journeys with the world – not just to raise awareness, but to inspire hope and spark a broader conversation about what recovery can truly look like for our veterans, first responders, and everyone else suffering and losing hope.”
The Dallas premiere marks the first public screening of the documentary and will bring together filmmakers, participants, advocates, and community leaders for an evening focused on awareness, dialogue, and impact. The event underscores the film’s broader mission: to inspire change in how trauma is understood, treated, and supported at every level from families and clinicians to institutions and policymakers.
HEALING HEROES NO MIND LEFT BEHIND is set to begin streaming on most major platforms beginning April 2026. For more information, please visit: healingheroes.com/
