Our half-hour documentary, Veteran Children: When Parents Go To War, had its premiere in April, 2019. It has been shown in Indianapolis and Boston, and we are arranging screenings across the country.
Our short film, 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. |
