Short documentary film screening: Poster Girl (2010), followed by Q&A with director and film-maker, Sara Nesson and Iraq veteran soldier, Robynn Murray.
Poster Girl is the story of Robynn Murray, an all-American high school cheerleader turned ‘poster girl’ for women in combat, profiled by Army Magazine’s cover shot. Now home from Iraq, her tough-as-nails exterior begins to crack, leaving Robynn struggling with the debilitating effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the challenges of rebuilding her life. Portrayal Films is pleased to announce Sara Nesson’s new documentary POSTER GIRL, just had its U.S. premiere at Telluride Film Festival and will have its world premiere at IDFA, one of the most prestigious international documentary festivals in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Poster Girl is one of eight documentaries on the OSCAR’S 2010 shortlist! The 83rd Academy Awards nominations will be announced on Tuesday, January 25.
