Poster Girl (0:38)
Robynn Murray, a New York high school cheerleader and National Merit Scholar, enlists in the Army at the age of 19. She is deployed to Iraq for a tour of duty. Upon her return, Robynn has difficulty adjusting to civilian life. She has a hip and back injuries that leave her in constant pain, suffers panic attacks, stomach problems, PSTD and a sleep disorder. Robynn has applied for disability through the VA and the VA has lost her file. This is an intense look of Robynn's journey back to recovery. Some of the photos taken in Iraq turned my stomach, I can't imagine being 19 and seeing this up close in person. Some of the her interviews are gut wrenching - I was in tears listening to the agony of her feelings. Anyone seeing this films certainly will be rooting for Robynn and for all the returning troops.
