Lioness Documentary

Coos Bay Library and Roseburg VA Health Care System are proud to present this powerful, emotional 2008 documentary by Meg McLagen and Darie Somers which shares, for the first time, the hidden history of female support soldiers known a Lionesses.

Event will include special guest appearance of original Lioness, Jessica Miller, who was partnered with one of the women from this film.
