ABOUT THE FILM:
Retired Master Sergeant Jerry Ensminger devoted nearly 25 years to service in the US Marines, following the motto “Always Faithful” as a way of life. When his nine-year-old daughter died of a rare form of leukemia while living at the military base Camp Lejeune, a grief-stricken Ensminger took on a quest that would lead him to a shocking discovery. This courageous and impassioned exposé follows his mission to make the Marine Corps to live up to its own motto.
