Extended Description
How did a group of Army women--mechanics, supply clerks, and engineers--end up fighting alongside the Marines in some of the bloodiest counterinsurgency battles of the Iraq war? Directors Meg McLagan and Daria Sommers offer an unprecedented look at war through the eyes of the first women in U.S. history to be sent into direct ground combat in violation of official policy. Through intimate personal stories and scenes from their lives back home, the film creates a deeply moving portrait of love, faith, duty, and solidarity.
Licensing is multi-use as opposed to “personal home use.” These licensing rights cover your organization's liability and protect you from copyright infringement for using the film for training and educational purposes. The rights are yours in perpetuity once we have received the appropriate licensing fee. Licensing rights cannot be transferred. As such, the licensing rights only apply to use by your library. Your library cannot "lend" the DVD and licensing rights to other libraries or organizations. These rights cover our company from the financial loss incurred by multiple viewings of a single DVD versus each viewer purchasing their own copy. But, more importantly, as stated above, these licensing rights protect you from copyright infringement and other legal ramifications.
