We have DVDs available for purchase. We are currently self-distributing, so all you need to do is contact us and mail a check to receive your DVD.

Simply contact us at 101films@gmail.com with your mailing address and we’ll mail you a copy of the film once we’ve received a check from you.

How much does it cost? Well, that depends – we have two different prices. Here is why:

We financed this film ourselves, and so despite some much-appreciated assistance from the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, the Knight Foundation, and Margaret and Will Hearst, we’re still in debt.

We can sell individual copies of the film for your personal use for $25. We hope individuals find this to be an accessible and reasonable price. If you mail us a S.A.S.E ( sel-addressed, stamped envelope) for the DVD, then the cost is even less; $20!

However, if you’re affiliated with an institution such as a VA hospital, Vet Center, university or other institution, we would very much appreciate it if you can buy the film through your institution for $200.

That way, more people can see and benefit from it since it will be part of a lending library or be used for group screenings.

Here are some testimonials about the film’s usefulness in a therapeutic setting:

“I have personally found “All the Way Home” to be a compassionate and informative look at the experiences returning veterans face after combat. “All the Way Home” can be an important teaching tool to help therapists understand the needs and struggles of veterans.”
~John R. McQuaid, Ph.D.
Clinical Psychologist

“This film is very well done – authentic, educational and also captivating. It would be very helpful viewing for vets, their families and the caregivers that provide health and counseling services to the military.”
~Marijo Tamburrino, M.D.
Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, University of Toledo
Co-PI with Joseph Calabrese, M.D., on the project, “ Combat Mental Health Initiative.”

The film broadcast on April 1st at 8:30 pm. Special thanks to the great folks at WNMU for pairing us with “Coming Home: Military Families Cope With Change” in this special broadcast.

We got an email from a viewer who caught the end of the film and wanted to buy a DVD. It’s great to hear from the audience, so please share your comments with us, whether it’s your own story of coming home from war, some constructive criticism for us, or a rave review – be in touch! You can reach us at 101films@gmail.com.

We have distribution to PBS through NETA, the National Educational Television Association, and for that we have Gayle Loeber to thank.

More broadcasts coming up soon. If you’re in the SF Bay area, save the date of May 24th for our 2pm broadcast on Memorial day.

Cheers,
Charlotte & Julie

We recently were in Chicago for the conference of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, or ISTSS http://www.istss.org/. We attended the conference a few years ago in LA as part of our research for the film, so it was a great honor to return to present our film.

We could not have been more moved and inspired by the response to the film. Thank you to all of you who came and shared your comments and reactions with us!

The best response by far was from a Vietnam vet who currently works with veterans himself who overcame his emotions to come to the microphone and share his response – one of overwhelming connection to Steve, the Vietnam veteran in the film. He said he’d use the film with his group, and bought a copy of the DVD, refusing our offer of a free copy.

We sold out of the DVDs we brought. The DVD sales were wonderful too, knowing that the ISTSS therapists were bringing back copies to share in their communities. It is also a huge help for us to recoup some of the costs of film & DVD production.

If you’d like a copy, please email us at 101films@gmail.com for info. The DVD is $20 for individual use, $200-$250 for institutional use.

We’d also love to hear your comments and feedback!

Thank you again to ISTSS for the wonderful opportunity to screen our film amidst a community of healers.

Festival Recap

Mill Valley was a low-key festival peppered with some wonderful films. We met some great people and attended both of our screenings. It was most heart-warming that some people stayed till the very end to ask questions.

There was another short about coming home from Iraq with wounds, but in this case a physical wound. It was called “Left in Baghdad”. Look for it at a festival near you – it was a great film.

We’ll post our next screenings as soon as we know the details…
