“What an important, timely and magnificent message. I think the shocking, nauseating, infuriating message is – WE STUDIED these things we KNOW FACTS about these things, we MADE RECOMMENDATIONS about these things — and refused to do it.”
– I. Suver/Medical Professional
Why This Film

Comments from Past Screenings
“This film is more stirring to my blood than any imagining thought possible. It was if they were speaking to me, to my family, and were sitting in my living room and the thoughts and experiences they shared could have been my own. Thanks for this wonderful work from me and all those who served like me! “
— J. Yarvis/Army Colonel (Ret.), PhD, LCSW, ACSW, BCD
“STRANGER AT HOME is provocative, powerful and thought-provoking. How sad that the military dismisses mental healthcare for its soldiers and their families. We hope that your film will open doors that have been closed for too long. I know you have the power with your film to really make a change. Bravo!!”
– C. Salzman/Documentary Filmmaker
“We loved it! Bravo for your tireless efforts! Such a compelling articulation of the need for systemic change.”
– B. Zinn/Lawyer and Doctoral Psychology Major
“It was extremely informative, infuriating and quite moving. I think I expected to see people who were broken, but didn’t expect to see their deep intelligence and commitment to solving the complicated problem of making and unmaking combatants. And how interesting that the Roosevelt administration was doing a decent job of it and we slipped back into such toxic practices.”
– L. Klatcher/Educator
“I was moved by the real, raw, and accurate road that these true heroes had to travel in shining a bright light on the topic of the quality of mental health that service members receive within the VA/military community. I shudder to think that today an average of 22 veterans (per day) call it quits by committing suicide.”
– K. Williams/USMC Sergeant Major (Ret.)
