Description: UNTURNING STEEL Trailer

Unturning Steel is an upcoming documentary film that features Bill Leahy as he works to provide service members with a path forward after returning home. In the aftermath of tragedy, Bill sets out on a hero's journey to help his fellow veterans bring their talents to American manufacturing. Together with the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, Bill has created a new offering that provides veterans the support and training they need to find purpose in American manufacturing.

But will Bill realize his vision in a society falling short of offering proper support to both veterans and manufacturers? Will veterans find those employment opportunities as American manufacturing experiences a new renaissance in the 21st Century?

A short version of the film was presented at this year's MARCON event. A feature-length movie will follow.
