Service: When Women Come Marching Home
US, 2012, 55 minutes, Color, DVD, English
Order No. W131097

Women now compose 15% of today’s military forces and that number is expected to double in 10 years. SERVICE portrays the courage of the women in service and once they have left the military: the horrific traumas they faced, the inadequate care they often receive on return and the large and small accomplishments the women work mightily to achieve. 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.

QUOTES

“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
“Without doubt, the most powerful film I’ve seen about women veterans. It tears you to pieces to watch it and restores your soul . . . all at the same time. It’s a documentary about hope. It’s the best film you haven’t seen yet. Tell everyone you know about it."
Wendi Goodman
18-year Army veteran, author of One Weary Soldier blog
"The film stuns. These women veterans show extraordinary character and resolve as they deal with unforgiving injuries, and a culture dull with ignorance. Hawk or dove, we need to understand and appreciate this special group."
Associate English Professor Nancy Nevins
Pierce and Glendale Colleges, CA
