Served Like a Girl Film Screening

National Archives at Kansas City
Kansas City, MO

On Wednesday, May 16 at 6:30 p.m., the National Archives in partnership with the National World War I Museum and Memorial will host a free screening of Served Like a Girl. The event will take place at the National World war I Museum and Memorial, 2 Memorial Drive, Kansas City, MO.

Director Lysa Heslov's powerful documentary, Served Like a Girl, follows several American women who were wounded in action and are now transitioning from soldier to civilian after serving their country in Iraq and Afghanistan. Struggling with PTSD, homelessness, broken families, divorce, serious illness, and military sexual abuse, these remarkable women harness humor to adapt to the emotional, social and economic challenges they face, through the Ms. Veteran America competition. Balancing beauty and brawn, they are guided by event founder and veteran Maj. Jas Boothe, using the competition to regain their identities and way of life that they sacrificed in foreign wars. It is an engaging and honest look at an often unseen veteran reality.

Reservations are requested for this free program. This event is offered in partnership with Kansas City PBS and the National World War I Museum and Memorial.
