| 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm | Screening and discussion of the documentary, The Lioness. (Open to all conference and L&M Training participants) This award winning documentary tells the story of a group of female Army support soldiers who were part of the first program in American history to send women into direct ground combat without the same training as their male counterparts. With captivating detail, this probing documentary reveals the unexpected consequences that began by using these Army women to defuse tensions with local civilians, but resulted in their fighting alongside Marine combat units in the streets of Ramadi. Together the women’s candid narratives describing their experiences in Iraq and scenes from their lives back home form a portrait of the emotional and psychological effects of war from a female point of view.
