With the help of
The Sprint Foundation and other donors like yourself, the nonprofit Brats Without
Borders is hosting
screenings of the award-winning documentary,
"BRATS: Our Journey Home" around the country, in
conjunction with its educational outreach program,
Operation Military Brat. In
some cities, Writer-Director Donna Musil hosts
town hall meetings and
"BRATS" Workshops
with military
families, educators, and health care providers. If
you can't make it to one of our events,
host your own screening! (Just let us know
first, so we can give you the legal parameters and help announce it on our
website.)

America talks a lot about soldiers and spouses, but we rarely
focus on the children... on the long-term effects... or issues beyond deployment.
Brats Without Borders hopes to change that. Operation Military Brat's mission is to:
- Raise the awareness of the challenges facing military brats of all ages.
- Acknowledge and celebrate their sacrifices and contributions.
- Improve the quality of their lives.
If you can't wait for a screening, stream the film online or
buy a DVD copy of the film
for the brat in your life - your child, your spouse, your parent, your friend, or yourself!
DVD sales and donations support Operation Military Brat and all of our other
projects.
