Filmography
Captain Newman, MD. (1963) - Although he's charged with clearing shell-shocked soldiers to return to active duty, Capt. Josiah J. Newman (Gregory Peck) is keenly aware that some of them simply aren't ready. But the neuropsychiatrist's caution doesn't sit well with his superiors in this World War II-era drama.
In the Valley of Elah (2007) - When exemplary soldier Mike Deerfield (Jonathan Tucker) goes missing after returning from Iraq, his concerned parents, Hank (Tommy Lee Jones, in an Oscar-nominated role) -- a career officer -- and Joan (Susan Sarandon), hire crack police Detective Emily Sanders (Charlize Theron) to investigate. Director Paul Haggis based the script on actual events reported in Mark Boal's Playboy magazine article..
Lioness (2008) - 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.
Sesame Street's Talk, Listen, Connect -this bilingual (English and Spanish) multimedia outreach program is designed to support military families with children between the ages of two and five who are experiencing deployment, multiple deployments, or a parent's return home changed due to a combat-related injury.
