Audience Member I laughed, I cried, and I got angry. This film may only been about the few women onscreen who has served in the military, but it's a story that resonates with nearly every woman who has ever served and understands the difficulties of coming back home. As a veteran myself, I am thankful for this story, to show that we served too, and women in the military are badass, willing to step up and get the job done and still want to feel pretty and be taken seriously. As a former homeless veteran, I appreciate that this film talks about the sad side of returning from service and what women often have to endure long after leaving. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a tough subject to tackle as a first-time director. This film tells a story woven from the experiences of several women competing for the title of Miss Veteran America. It's hard to capture all that goes into a pageant, and this film also explores the families these women have come from and have made, the service they have rendered to their country, the sacrifices they have made on the frontlines and in their own barracks, and the struggles and successes they have borne since coming home. The moments we witness with these women are extraordinary, powerful, heartwarming, and heartbreaking. From the first time we see all these women together at the pageant's finals in Las Vegas, we understand that the tiara is not the highest stakes for those involved. Love, acceptance, support, and recognition are all higher priorities for these women, and it is a final gratification to catch up with these women after the competition is over in a last series of the small moments and big triumphs that make up their lives. These women are absolutely remarkable and inspiring and so is this film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member I decided to watch this documentary because I love the Pat Benatar song "Dancing Through the Wreckage". The film follows a group of female veterans and their struggles. It is moving and insightful. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Moving documentary with ups and downs. Loved all the women in the film. Has a true message and we can not leave women veterans behind. You should watch it many times, and you will see things you didn't see before. I? only hope to make to Vegas and watch this in person. Thank you for your service ladies!!!! Keep doing what you are doing! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Phenomenal movie highlighting the woman behind the uniform! This is a must see film for everyone in America. It'll open your eyes, mind, and heart to what women in the military experience and is a testament to their resiliency and strength! SLAG will leave you feeling deeply thankful and appreciative for all our military women and their selfless service to this nation - all because they felt a calling to serve in a capacity far bigger than themselves.
