Co-presented by Chicken & Egg Pictures and Working Films with Judith Helfand in person along with other guest speakers.
Lioness tells the story of a group of female soldiers—a real-life band of sisters—from the Army's 1st Engineer Battalion who went to Iraq in the fall of 2003 as cooks, supply clerks and heavy equipment operators and returned home a year later as part of America's first generation of female combat veterans. Lioness shares how a handpicked group of American female support soldiers came to serve in some of the Iraq war's bloodiest counterinsurgency battles since Vietnam. It explores how their experiences "outside the wire" are reshaping their lives back home in unexpected ways
