Description

Director Lysa Heslov’s documentary, 'Served Like a Girl, provides a candid look at several American women as they transition from active duty to civilian life after serving tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our wounded U.S. female service personnel often return to a stark reality, one that is rarely discussed or considered. Struggling with PTSD, homelessness, broken families, serious illness, physical injuries, and the aftermath of military sexual abuse, these amazing women find ways to adapt and overcome debilitating challenges through participation in the “Ms. Veteran America” competition. Guided by event founder and veteran, Jas Boothe, the women leverage their experiences gained through competition to recover the parts of themselves and their personal identities they had lost on the battlefield. Called 'ENGAGING, HONEST and POWERFUL,' this film is a beautiful tapestry interlaced with poignant moments, social commentary, and humor.

    Wow! Absolutely, wholeheartedly…Wow! To say only that it’s about a group of women combat veterans vying for the title of Ms. Veteran America is to not do it justice. It is about honor, pride, hope, honesty, compassion, and determination. It’s about the plight of homeless female veterans, about a broken system that needs a permanent fix. And it’s about time; it’s long overdue. Set aside 90 minutes for yourself, then sit back and allow yourself to be awed as you watch this powerful, honest, and engrossing film. You will be glad that you did. And the lyrics to Pat Benatar's song, "Dancing Through the Wreckage" will leave you breathless.
