Summary

What began as a chance encounter with a struggling veteran during a roadside breakdown in 2011 turned into a 14-year journey of advocacy and filmmaking for Steven Grayhm. Along with co-star Matt Dallas, Grayhm set out to bridge the gap between the civilian and veteran communities. Their mission culminates in the new film Sheepdog, a raw and unsanitized look at the realities of life after service. Writer, director, and star Steven Grayhm, and actor Matt Dallas, joined host Lisa Brady on the FOX News Rundown to discuss their film’s focus on the long journey of "post-traumatic growth" and healing. They also discuss why five million veterans have yet to access the care they’ve earned We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Steven Grayhm and Matt Dallas, offering an even deeper look at their film, Sheepdog. Learn more about your ad choices.
