Our half-hour documentary, Veteran Children: When Parents Go To War, had its premiere on Indiana Public Television in April, 2019. It has been shown in Indianapolis, Boston, Washington, DC, and New Orleans. We are currently arranging screenings across the country. The film is not yet available for public streaming but please contact us if you wish to organize a film screening.

Our short film, Veteran Kids, was selected to screen at numerous film festivals, including Garden State Film Festival, My Hero Film Festival, Middle Coast Film Festival, Harvard Law School in the Arts, and Boston International Kids Film Festival, where it was selected for Best of the Festival. |
Veteran Kids features a conversation between military and civilian children as they ask questions and share experiences. You will hear their sincere and poignant stories that model the productive and open conversations that are possible when we connect across the military-civilian divide -- the girl who speaks with pride and respect about her dad’s service while describing her fears for his safety; the boy who talks about going into his mom’s room and being struck by how neat and tidy it is, a reminder of her deployment. These stories are candid and unscripted and give us a chance to consider what the experience of war is for veteran children. |
