Our Mission

The Patton Veterans Project (PVP) uses collaborative filmmaking as a therapeutic gateway for veterans coping with posttraumatic and other service-related stress to validate their service accomplishments, reduce social isolation, strengthen family, community and professional bonds, and link them with care.

Through regular community screenings, PVP strives to break down barriers between veterans and civilians, and educate the public about the mental health challenges facing veterans and military families today.
