September 12 marks more than just a premiere date for the documentary Safe Ground; it is Ryan Hendrickson’s "Alive Day," the anniversary of the IED blast in Afghanistan that nearly claimed his life.

Hendrickson, a retired Green Beret and recipient of the Silver Star and Purple Heart, founded Tip of the Spear Landmine Removal after his own brush with explosive devices. The documentary captures his team's efforts to clear deadly remnants of war, allowing Ukrainian farmers and families to reclaim their land. For Hendrickson, the work is a direct extension of his military service, turning a traumatic injury into a sustained mission of protection.

The film is part of the Faith in War series, a five-part project produced by former Marine Corps Captain Colby Barrett. Beyond the technical aspects of mine removal, the documentary explores the psychological shift of veterans finding new purpose in humanitarian aid. Charlotte La Belle, Global Head of Military Affairs at Amazon, noted that the project highlights how skills forged in combat are being repurposed to address critical global security needs. By returning to the very threat that nearly killed him, Hendrickson aims to prove that the commitment to service continues long after a soldier leaves the battlefield.
