I AM VANESSA GUILLEN, FEATURE DOCUMENTARY, NETFLIX, 2022, In partnership with Story Syndicate.

The Emmy-nominated feature documentary, I Am Vanessa Guillen, premiered on Netflix in 2022, reaching the top ten in more than a dozen countries on the platform. The film was designed to tell the story of U.S. Army soldier Vanessa Guillen and bring greater awareness to the pervasive issue of sexual misconduct in the U.S. military. The film is also nominated for two Imagen Awards (Best Documentary + Best Musical Score) and two Real Screen Awards.

U.S. Army soldier Vanessa Guillen dreamed of joining the military, but once she was stationed at Fort Hood, everything shattered. In 2020, after telling her mother she was being sexually harassed on base, Guillen was murdered by a fellow soldier. Her story sparked an international movement of assault victims demanding justice, and this bracing, candid film follows her family’s fight for historic military reform, a journey that takes them all the way to the Oval Office.
