Paul Haggis is known for his award-winning movie Crash, but his 2007 film In the Valley of Elah is another powerful movie that deserves attention. The film explores the impact of war on soldiers and their families, focusing on the emotional scars that stay with them long after they return home. With Haggis as both the writer and director, the film shines a light on the often-overlooked struggles of those affected by war.
