In Their Boots
In Their Boots is a documentary series about the impact the War in Iraq and the War in Afghanistan are having on people at home in the United States.[1] Every episode features a documentary about how the servicemen and women of the American armed forces, their families, and American communities have been changed by the nation's campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan.[2] The show has covered issues such as the effects of deployment, post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, recovery from physical injury, military widows,[3] partners of gays in the military,[4] homelessness, women in the military, and sexual assault in the military. In 2010, In Their Boots launched Operation In Their Boots, which gave 5 combat veterans the opportunity to produce and direct their own documentaries.[5] In Their Boots is funded by a grant from the Iraq Afghanistan Deployment Impact Fund (IADIF) of the California Community Foundation and is produced by Brave New Foundation.[6] Season 2 of In their Boots began airing on PBS stations in July 2010.[7] List of episodes
