In LIONESS, Directors Meg McLagan and Daria Sommers give an intimate look at war through the eyes of women and the U.S. military policy that bans them from combat.

In this clip, at a Team Lioness reunion, the women discover that they are absent from media coverage of a battle in which they fought.

LIONESS premieres Thursday, November 13 on INDEPENDENT LENS, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Terrence Howard, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide. Visit the Web site for more: www.pbs.org/independentlens/li...
