BRATS Film Tour

From San Francisco to Orlando, the tour hit 26 cities in 2007.  The movie won the Southern Lens Award, Best Documentary, and the First Time Director’s Award.  Armed Forces Network Television broadcast BRATS in 175 countries around the world.  Educational, nonprofit, and government organizations are buying copies for their counselors, teachers, employees, and libraries, including the Military Community Youth Ministries, Family Readiness Centers, and the VA Medical Center Library.  In 22 months, there have been over 2.4 million hits on the website.  This was accomplished with a team of four people, financed solely by small donations from fellow brats and DVD/VHS sales.

If your community group, alumni organization, or educational institution would like to organize a screening and/or public appearance, please drop them a line.

For those who wish to delve deeper into the psychological effects of “growing up military/TCK,” you can pre-order a new companion DVD to BRATS – BRATS RAW:  Dr. Stephanie Donaldson-Pressman in November. Future projects include a book featuring more brat stories. Donna is writing the new BRATS movie – a coming-of-age drama set on a military base in Asia. Keep checking their website for more details.

Using archival film sources, home movie footage, and provocative first-person interviews, including General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, author Mary Edwards Wertsch, psychotherapist Stephanie Donaldson-Pressman, and West Point sociologist Dr. Morten Ender, BRATS tells the story of children raised under a very unique set of circumstances.

MYSTERY ARTIST John Hayter taught music in Ankara from 1962-1964. He received the beautiful watercolor to your left from a student after admiring it. He had it matted and framed while teaching in Germany, and it's been hanging on his walls for the past 40 years! It's painted on semi-corrugated, pull-apart stuff movers use to wrap things they are packing. John would like to thank the artist. Does anyone know who it may be? Contact John.
