Libraries offer online screening of ‘Visions of Warriors’

Posted

In honor of Veterans Day, the film “Visions of Warriors” will be screened online for the Park County Libraries in Powell, Cody and Meeteetse this month.

Any time between Monday, Nov. 9 and Saturday, Nov. 21, log in using the link and password posted to the Powell Library Facebook page or www.parkcountylibrary.org to watch “Visions of Warriors.”

Visions of Warriors enters the minds of four veterans from the Vietnam War era to the Iraq War who are battling against mental illness: Mark Pinto; Homerina “Marina” Bond; Ari Sonnenberg; and Priscilla “Peni” Bethel.

They participate in the groundbreaking Veteran Photo Recovery Project at the VA Menlo Park and use innovative photography therapy to treat their moral injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, military sexual trauma and other mental illnesses. The documentary also profiles the Veteran Photo Recovery Project team founder and nurse practitioner Susan Quaglietti, art therapist Jeff Stadler, clinical social worker Ryan Gardner and clinical psychologist Kristen McDonald.

“Hopefully, by sharing the veterans’ incredible stories of heroism and survival, our film raises awareness about the rise of veteran mental illness and the power of innovative photography therapy to treat it,” said Ming Lai, the producer/writer/editor/director. “We’re deeply honored to be able to document the extraordinary lives of the veterans and their mental health providers.”

Visions of Warriors is pitched as “a universal story about the strength of the human spirit.”

For more information, call the Cody library at 307-527-1883.
