Their passports say “United States,” but they’re really citizens of the world. U.S. military BRATS share intimate memories about their unique childhoods – growing up on military bases around the world, then struggling to fit into an America lifestyle with which they have little in common. This is the first cinematic glimpse into a global subculture whose journey to adulthood is a high-octane mixture of incredible excitement and enormous pain. BRATS is about military children, who grow up in a world that is both idealistic and authoritarian, privileged and perilous, supportive and stifling. Narrated by and featuring the music of Air Force brat Kris Kristofferson.
Directed Donna Musil
