Since our national broadcast on Independent Lens, LIONESS has continued to impact audiences and raise awareness of women veteran's issues with audiences around the country. We've had screenings at colleges and universities, veteran conferences, film festivals as well as select theatrical venues. We are thrilled to announce that on Tuesday, March 31st, we will be presenting excerpts from the film to members of the House Veterans Affairs Committee and four of the women from the film will answer questions. They will also discuss their experiences in Iraq in a press conference in support of a women veterans bill sponsored by Sen. Patty Murray and Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin. These events are co-sponsored by Independent Television Service (ITVS), Disabled American Veterans (DAV), and Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA). In addition, Independent Lens/PBS has decided to rebroadcast the film on Tuesday June 2, 2009. Check local listings for exact time in your area. Please continue to check our website http://www.lionessthefilm.com for more detailed information and updates from our Capitol Hill presentation. Thank you for your ongoing support!
