The Weight of Honor posterA screening of “The Weight of Honor” will be held Wednesday, Oct. 10, at 6 p.m. in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium, Newhouse 3. A panel discussion will follow.

The event is co-sponsored by the Military Visual Journalism Program and the Office of Veteran and Military Affairs and is part of the Military and the Media speaker series. Follow on Twitter at #MilitaryMedia.

Six strong, inspiring women tell their stories in “The Weight of Honor,” a documentary about the caregivers of veterans who have been catastrophically wounded in America’s longest war. These inspirational women are transformed overnight to 24/7 caregivers responsible for keeping their war-wounded alive. The film reveals the family dynamic, their relationships before the wounds of war, and the uncertainties that lie ahead.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with producer Stephanie Seldin Howard and Syracuse University professor Linda Stone Fish.

She has produced specials and documentaries for CNN, Fox News Channel and Reuters, as well as local coverage for KNBC-TV and KTTV-TV in Los Angeles. She was the co-producer of “Refusenik,” a documentary about the decades-long movement to free Jews held against their will by the Soviet Union.

In 2014, Howard was awarded the Roy W. Dean Grant from From the Heart Productions, making “The Weight of Honor” possible. She is a member of the International Documentary Association, Film Fatales and Film Independent.
