Event Details

Battlefield: Home - Breaking The Silence is an intimate insight into the lives of veterans and military service members and their families as they deal with the process of 'coming home' and 'reintegration' into civilian society.
Battlefield: Home - Breaking The Silence is an attempt to bridge the gap between the military and civilian worlds that veterans and their families must live in. It is about the problems they face, the obstacles they endure, and it is also about the hope of the human spirit to return to being whole again. As the daughter of a Vietnam combat Marine and a Nagasaki nuclear bomb survivor, director Anita Sugimura Holsapple has the unique perspective to tell that story. This film shines a light on the social divide between the families of those who serve and those they protect.
Winner of the prestigious 2018 SAMHSA Voice Award. A Q&A discussion with the director will immediately follow the screening.
