In the desert community of 29 Palms, local artist Ted Meyer works with a group of wounded veterans and active-duty service members to help them confront the trauma behind their injuries - by transforming their physical scars into powerful works of art.  “Sheepdogs” is a portrait of resilience, identity, and the healing power of creativity in the aftermath of injury.
