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, after returning home from duty in Iraq, Specialist Shannon Morgan and her dad search for the perfect Christmas tree. 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.
