After Action

After Action, hosted by Air Force Veteran Stacy Pearsall, is a series of seven 1-hour episodes that captures the raw experiences of veterans around military training, deployment and, most of all, life after action. Every episode features an intimate conversation guided by Pearsall with whom each participant identifies and trusts. This round circle, reality-based approach engages viewers to earn a greater understanding of the issue's members of the military face. The series also portrays a reality that is perhaps atypical to each generation of service men and women. The series seeks to demystify the military experience, provide a platform for dialogue among military family members and preserve military stories, many of which have, to date, been untold. It is our intent to help those who haven't served in the military understand the transformation that happens through serving and the journey service members experience "after action."

Tue, Aug 6 2:00 P.M. Toxic Exposure     NH Explore (11.2)

Many people associate casualties with bombs and bullets, but there are veterans who have died, and those who are dying, years after they returned home from war.

Tue, Aug 13 2:00 P.M. Art & Healing     NH Explore (11.2)

The beat of a drum, the stroke of a brush, and the fluid movement of dance can articulate feelings and emotions some veterans can't express in words.
