Searching for Home: Coming Back from War

Searching for Home: Coming Back from War explores, in their own words,  the Truth, the Healing and the Hope of veterans from all generations returning home from war and their search for the “home” they left behind–physically, mentally and spiritually. From World War II, Korea and Vietnam to modern-day conflicts, Searching for Home is a multi-generational documentary that chronicles the journey from battlefield to homefront and the search for healing and eventually hope.

Presented by Wounded Heroes Program of Maine,Tarrant County Vet Center, TCU, and KERA.

Atomic Mom

Atomic Mom is a feature-length documentary film about two women, both mothers, who have very different experiences of the atom bomb. One is the filmmaker’s mother, Pauline Silvia, who was a biologist in the Navy in the early 1950's and was sent to the Nevada Test Site where she participated in five detonations. At 23 years old, she was one of the few women scientists on an elite team of researchers. After decades of silence, Pauline is in a crisis of conscience about the work she did, work that involved animal testing.
