Veterans' Policies, Veterans' Politics : New Perspectives on Veterans in the Modern United States by Stephen R. Ortiz

VA: The Human Cost of War

The Human Cost of War takes a broad look at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs— examining the organization’s history, leadership, structure, funding and relationship to veterans. The film chronicles, in depth and often in wrenching detail, the workings of this crucial but at times beleaguered American institution.

The Homefront

With unprecedented access and filmed over 14 months, The Homefront creates a series of intimate portraits—following families through the difficulties of deployment, the joys of homecoming, and the challenges of reintegrating as a family after many months apart.

Going to War

The film illuminates the experiences of training, battle, and coming home for soldiers across conflicts, revealing the universals of the warrior's journey. 

Veteran Children

Veteran Children is a documentary film project that illuminates the remarkable strengths, challenges, and perspectives of America's military children. The film provides a unique lens as families and children tell us their own stories in their own words.
