Limited CD/DVD edition. They Were There, A Hero's Documentary honors the lives of five fallen soldiers and seeks to pay tribute to their heroic sacrifices and infinite legacies. Granger Smith reflects on his inspiration for the project, "I'm lucky enough to have achieved a lot of different milestones and accolades in my career, but I realize that doesn't come from merit alone. I discovered a long time ago that I am allowed to chase these dreams because of men and woman who volunteer to ensure my freedom." Over the course of five days, producer Granger Smith and director Paul de la Cerda embark on a journey to honor each soldier, one hero per day. Set against the Chihuahuan Desert near the Texas Rio Grande and Mexico border, Granger narrates the film, reading personal letters from the soldiers and meeting with family members and loved ones throughout the course of the film. Through one-on-one interviews, viewers intimately get to know their stories, their families and the aftermath of losing a loved one for the price of freedom. Deeply passionate and immensely patriotic, Granger is an avid supporter of U.S. military men and women: he founded the "100-Mile Boot Walk" several years ago and has since walked hundreds of miles in combat boots to raise awareness and funds surrounding the challenges and needs troops face upon returning home. He has also performed several shows overseas for our troops.
