When a young military wife gets news that her Marine husband has been severely wounded in combat, she discovers that their life ahead is going to be an overwhelming—yet amazing—journey.
This July Spotlight honors our country’s service members, as well as filmmaker Chris King—a Pittsburgh Shorts alumni—who passed earlier this year.
What is Spotlight? On the 1st of every month, the Film Pittsburgh programming team highlights a critically acclaimed, fan-favorite, or socially relevant short film that you can watch from anywhere, for free!
