Granger Smith can add film producer to his list of titles now that he’s produced They Were There: A Hero’s Documentary. It’s a tribute to fallen soldier and their sacrifices and legacies.

"This is about five fallen soldiers, and it's about the sacrifice they make that represents the life that I get to live," Granger says. "One of the stories of these five fallen soldiers is suicide. I learned a lot about PTSD and results of suicide, and the staggering statistics of that."

Granger calls the experience “eye-opening,” saying he learned right along with the viewer, and it changed some of his pre-conceived notions about war and gun control. But he didn’t necessarily make the film to change anyone else’s opinions. "We tend to forget that there are sacrifices being made every day and the purpose of this documentary for me is to try to live a life worthy of that sacrifice," he says.
