["Women Make Movies Educate" <>]

Hi All,
 
I am writing from Women Make Movies, the leading non profit distributor of 
films by and about women. I thought the members of this listserv would be 
interested to know about SERVICE: WHEN WOMEN COME MARCHING HOME, a new 
educational resource that explores critical issues around women veterans 
which will premiere on NYC Public Television this Sunday, May 19, 7pm and 
screen on PBS stations throughout the spring.

SERVICE: WHEN WOMEN COME MARCHING HOME 
<http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c843.shtml>

“This work is a delicately balanced portrayal of our women warriors' battles 
and victories over insurmountable odds...a must see!"
Lourdes Alvarado-Ramos
Director, Washington State Dept. of Veteran Affairs
 
Women make up 15 percent of today's military. That number is expected to 
double in 10 years. SERVICE highlights the resourcefulness of seven amazing 
women who represent the first wave of mothers, daughters and sisters 
returning home from the front-less wars of Iraq and Afghanistan. Portraying 
the courage of women veterans as they transition from active duty to their 
civilian lives, this powerful film describes the horrific traumas they have 
faced, the inadequate care they often receive on return, and the large and 
small accomplishments they work mightily to achieve. 

These are the stories we hear about from men returning from war, but rarely 
from women veterans. Through compelling portraits, we watch these women 
wrestle with prostheses, homelessness, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and 
Military Sexual Trauma. The documentary takes the audience on a journey from 
the deserts of Afghanistan and Iraq to rural Tennessee and urban New York 
City, from coping with amputations, to flashbacks, triggers and depression to 
ways to support other vets. An eye-opening look at the specific challenges 
facing women veterans with a special focus on the disabled, SERVICE can be 
used for courses in military studies, women’s studies, peace and conflict 
courses. It’s also an amazing resource for veteran support groups, families 
and friends of women veterans and advocacy groups working with veterans and 
the disabled.
