Poster Girl

An HBO documentary that examines life for vets once they are out of the war. The problems they face with health care, being paid, and getting their mental health back on track. This focuses on one woman in particular who at 18 was given a lot of responsibly - she has a very difficult time readjusting and living with her actions during the war. She turns to art and therapy to help get back on track. The scenes with her mom are difficult to watch if you have kids especially. IMDb writes, "Apple pie cheerleader turned tough-as-nails machine gunner in the Iraq War, Sgt. Robynn Murray comes home to face a new kind of battle she never anticipated ." All in all, I say: SEE IT most of us have no idea what veterans go through.
