More good news from our Veterans Journey Home project. We won the Humanitarian Short award at the DocUtah Film Festival for Kalani’s Story. We have a brand new trailer for Ben’s Story. We’re making a shorter, 84 minute version of Leaving it on the Land that should help attract more viewers. Our latest guest podcast appearance is here.
