Merit, a U.S. Army veteran suffering from PTSD, is repeatedly tortured by visions of her deceased friend and company buddy Zoe. After her Afghanistan service in 2016, she attends group therapy until Dale, her grandfather and former Lieutenant Colonel, is recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Merit steps up to his aide, and discovers more about herself and her family, while also gaining the courage to put her metaphorical demons to rest.

    My Dead Friend Zoe is a raw, emotional journey that explores the impact of suicide in a way that’s rarely seen on screen. The film refuses to simply brush past the topic with the usual “death by suicide” label. Instead, it dives deep into the unspoken truth: that soldiers return from war, civilians face their daily battles, and yet we all are expected to simply cope and be okay. This movie challenges that, showing us the fragility beneath the surface. It’s a haunting reminder that we need to talk about mental health, not just pretend everything is fine. Just WOW. Must watch.

    Actually, I think war is good now… /s A LOT of politics/themes in this I have problems with. I, too, don’t feel like I belong but being a nationalist is too much for me to look past. So even the cute, fun moments…..I couldn’t relate lol Military propaganda staged as mental health awareness Love the *Just following orders, sir!* vibe King of the Hill handles PTSD & generational conflict better *gestures vaguely* handled Alzheimer’s better. 🎶…and Jingo was HER name-o🎶
