Soldier Girls

Synopsis

The directors spent three months filming a group of women going through basic training for the US army. Fifty started out but only thirty completed the course. The film concentrates on three of the group. The programme is shot against a background of the US army’s view of its role in Vietnam and the contemporary world.*
