Blood Stripe 2017 Trailer - Independent Movie About PTSD

Want to give a head's up about a new movie that is going into the pipeline. I don't know if it will get national release or attention.

It is a story about a woman returning from her third tour of duty and has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. There are scars; outside and on the inside.



2019 Update: The full movie is now available on YouTube. 

Word is that the film will have a limited release in September and October 2017 but I suspect it will hit the streaming services a few months after that.
