Invisible Wounds: Life after military sexual assault and PTS

A team of photographers, writers, and filmmakers--—both veteran and civilian—--are crisscrossing the country to explore the lives of post-9/11 veterans, the divide between them and their communities, and the stereotypes that veterans and civilians hold about each other. Why does this divide exist? How does it affect communities across the country? And why does it matter?

Stacey Thompson, a Marine vet, was raped by her sergeant and discharged from the military when she reported it. After a decade-long battle, the military recognized its mistake and upgraded her discharge. Mosaic art and writing help Stacey work through her PTSD.
