BURIED ABOVE GROUND goes on an inspirational journey with three people trying to recover from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – Luis, an Iraq War veteran, along with his service dog Tuesday; Erundina, a survivor of domestic violence; and Ashley, an evacuee from Hurricane Katrina. BURIED ABOVE GROUND explores its subjects' lives over six years, gaining access to their home life, therapy sessions, and communities as they try to unburden themselves from the crippling lock of their past traumas. The personal battles fought by Luis, Ashley and Erundina illuminate a global health condition that is misunderstood, underreported and often left untreated.

This feature documentary investigates the "Citizen Isolation Centers", the secret World War II prisons within the Japanese American Incarceration camp system created in 1943 to separate those citizens deemed to be "troublemakers", from the other prisons of Japanese descent. These secret prisons have been called "precursors to Guantanamo". "A Bitter Legacy" illustrates why civic education and engagement, and social and political activism are so necessary to ensure that these acts of injustice are never repeated in today's American society.
