IMPACT 2012 Festival: Lioness Screening and Discussion August 9, 2012

Lioness tells the story of a group of female Army support soldiers who became the first women in American history to be sent into direct ground combat. Without sufficient training but with a commitment to serve as needed, these young women ended up fighting in some of the bloodiest counterinsurgency battles of the Iraq war. Lioness makes public, for the first time, this hidden history.

Screening will be followed by a conversation with directors Meg McLagan and Daria Sommers, and the American Civil Liberties Union.
