You know how the commercials go. That's all it takes to be a National Guardsman. And, think of all the benefits: over $60,000 to pay for college, three-thousand bucks a year... Just to pay off school loans, boundless adventure, education for civilian jobs... All this, for just one weekend a month, two weeks a year.
...And then there's reality. Yes, that's all they ask, part time service. But, life isn't that simple. Ever.
Meg McDermott is a single mother raising two kids on her own. Real life is hectic enough, keeping food on the table, getting the kids to school, keeping her head above water. Now, she must go to Baghdad.
It's a new short film starring Renee O'Connor (incidentally, she's the only reason to ever watch Xena...) Running only thirteen minutes, yet as powerful as a feature film; it tells the story of a single mother's life completely unraveling, after just one phone call.
