“Who am I without the uniform?”

-Zack Starr

Athlete and Navy Vet Zack Starr has navigated through gravely dark waters on his way to finding himself and his purpose on a greater level. 

Through his own journey, Zack deeply relates to the multitudes of veterans who suffer with disabling mental, emotional and physical states, after service related injuries and trauma, as well as veterans and athletes whose careers have come to an end – whether abruptly or through retirement – and who must now find their meaning, their connection to the world… ultimately, their Identity, on a new level. 

Zack has chronicled his exceptional story in the feature documentary “The Epic Mile”. To find out more about Zack and see his film, visit www.zackstarr.com/movie where you can request a film link.
