U.S. Army soldier Vanessa Guillén always dreamed of joining the military, but once she was stationed at Fort Hood, everything shattered: In 2020, after telling her mother she was being sexually harassed on base, Guillén was murdered by a fellow soldier. Her story sparked an international movement of assault victims demanding justice, and this bracing, candid film follows her family’s fight for historic military reform, a journey that takes them all the way to Congress and the Oval Office.

Jonathan E Heartbreaking but totally unsurprising tragedy. The U.S. military has been plagued by sexual assaults since its inception but the mainstream media all but ignores it. It's ingrained in the culture and it's sickening. The lies , denials and cover-ups are all too common. I tell young people to NEVER join the military. It's rotten at its core. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
