STAND DOWN SOLDIER + PANEL DISCUSSION

Saturday, March 26th @  4:30PM 

The life of women in the military is seldom portrayed in films.

The drama "Stand Down Soldier" tells the story of Sergeant Stacy Armstrong who returns home from three deployments suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Soon after her return, she and her husband realize that their 20-year marriage is about to be another casualty of war. Infidelity, addiction, and a tragic accident test the couple's commitment.

This fiction film explores some of the issues many returning soldiers confront in their civil life including mental health issues, loneliness, and drug addiction.

 (Dir. by Jeryl Prescott Sale, 2015, USA, 82mins, Drama, English)
