Terra Firma: A Film About Women, War and Healing

A Documentary Film by Christine Anthony and Owen Masterson

Picture
WHO GOES TO WAR… WHO COMES HOME Since 2001 over 280,000 women have been sent to the Middle East to serve in the War on Terror.  Often traumatized by their experiences, many return home with PTSD, unable to cope with the daily rigors of life.  Terra Firma weaves together the stories of three women veterans who were among the first to deploy, serving in Afghanistan, Kuwait and Iraq.

After years of struggling, each has found ways to heal the hidden wounds of war through farming.   The film follows the women as they go about their daily lives, reflecting on their time spent in the military, the impact of war on their lives and their newfound peace of mind, finding that farming gives them purpose and a new way to serve their country by growing food for their communities.

SUCK IT UP AND FARM!
Cedar Basin urges you to not wait for the opportunity to see Terra Firma, but to make the opportunity to see it.  Find out how here:
