Regeneration

Three men come together in a Scottish army hospital and try to make sense of their lives and ideologies in the face of World War I. Doctor. The eminent poet, Siegfried Sassoon, a brilliant and heroic soldier who is by no means mentally disturbed but has been sent to the asylum for publishing an outspoken - and illegal - pamphlet proclaiming his opposition to the war. Wilfred Owen, whose lack of confidence in his work as a poet is transformed by Sassoon's support, enabling him to write what is now regarded as the finest poetry to emerge from the war. Finally, Billy Prier, an officer risen through the ranks from a humble background who, as a result of the horror he has endured, has been rendered mute.
