LOS ANGELES—The work of the nonprofit Bob Woodruff Foundation in helping injured soldiers reintegrate into American society is the subject of a powerful new documentary short and public service ad, produced by A Common Thread and directed by Kenny Stoff.

Michael Johnston, a U.S. Navy veteran who lost his leg in 2003 and aspires to compete in the 2016 Rio Paralympics, runs the 100 meter dash.
Each step reveals words - passion, power and strength - the qualities that veterans have, and reminds them that they can still enjoy active lives despite their life-changing injuries. It's nicely shot, the cgi isn't too bad, but the VO brought the ad down, down down.
