10. Reel Women Film Series

    The idea for the Reel Women film series was created by a group of 40 women veterans from Southwest PA, who make up Veterans Leadership Program's Women Veterans Design Team (WVDT). The Reel Women film series will showcase films about women, written by women, produced by women and/or directed by women. Following each film, there will be a facilitated discussion about the film, with a focus on gender roles, the media's role in how gender is constructed and performed, and how these themes relate to the experiences of women veterans, both in the military and as veterans in the civilian world. These events are FREE and open to the public.
