The Drummer

The Drummer is a 2020 American drama film that tells three interconnected stories about the traumatic effects of war on veterans from different generations, as seen through the eyes of Mark Walker (Danny Glover), Darien Cooper (Sam Underwood), and Cori (Prema Cruz). The film explores the psychological scars left by war and the struggle to pick up the pieces of a patriotic ideal that has failed its heroes. Through their struggles, the characters humanize the often-veteran-forgotten experiences of those who have served in wars beyond popular discourse.
