A combination of veteran spouse interviews and theatrical presentation, “Blood Stripe: A Spouse’s Story” seeks to deepen its audience’s understanding of the military and the veterans who cope with transitioning back to their families. By focusing on the spouse and family of an Iraq veteran, the Blood Stripe team highlights the need for education, resources, and support for anyone who comes back from war and those associated with them. “Blood Stripe: A Spouse’s Story” was inspired by the team’s own experiences with PTSD and TBI.

“The U.S. military spends enormous amounts of time and money preparing soldiers for war but very little of these resources preparing them to return to civilian life; and their spouses and families receive no preparation for what lies ahead,” stated a representative of the project.

“If we can educate the spouse to regarding the unique role they play in the recovery and reintegration of their Veteran into their family and the community, they have a chance to find a ‘new normal.'”

At this time, the Blood Stripe team has taken their project to Kickstarter, where they seek the necessary funds to complete the film’s production. The funds raised will cover costs such as location fees, equipment, and production staff fees. In exchange for the public’s support, the Blood Stripe team is offering a wide variety of perks, including art prints, DVDs, and tickets to the film’s premiere.
