Check out Mending The Line on NETFLIX

A poignant story of a wounded (internally and outward) Afghanistan veteran, who finds himself on the road to healing at a VA Center in Montana through learning to fly fish. The people this wounded warrior meets on his journey have wounds of their own..

A brilliant cast that includes Brian Cox, Wes Studi, and Patricia Heaton. Beautifully filmed and scripted. This is a hidden gem of a film that will move you.

*****/5 stars. Definitely worth your time.

It involves making micro adjustments in your line so it won't develop a "belly" -- which is a shape on the water that scares the fish -- as it floats downstream. Very fitting title. Haven't seen the film yet but it's going in my queue now.
