Join NPT and Watkins College of Art on Thursday, May 17, for a free Indie Lens Pop-Up event featuring Served Like a Girl. The screening takes place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Watkins theater (the Watkins cafe will be open before the screening). A panel discussion following the film will feature U.S. Army veterans Mary Ross and Marjorie K. Eastman, along with Dr. Denice P. Fish, a licensed professional counselor specializing in treating combat trauma.

The event is free, but RSVP is required. Seating will be first come, first served. Doors open at 6 p.m.

Served Like a Girl provides a candid look at a shared sisterhood to help the rising number of homeless women veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. By entering into the “Ms. Veteran America” competition, these amazing women unexpectedly come full circle in a quest for healing and hope as they overcome PTSD, sexual abuse and other traumas.

Independent Lens airs Mondays on NPT.
