The Telling Project is such a unique and powerful way of connecting veterans to their communities. In the span of just six days, this incredible group went from not knowing their lines at all to performing the script flawlessly in front of a room full of strangers. It was an honor to spend time with these amazing people and to capture this powerful process.
