Cast: Marc Wolf

Marc Wolf is remarkably talented- with an amazing ability to physically and emotionally transform into the characters and fully disappear into each - story telling at its finest. 

In general this film brings together voices from all sides of the Don't Ask Don't Tell issue and gives a unique look at how it resonated with people on the inside and outside of the policy. A very well rounded telling - a thoughtful and thorough representation of the issues that have haunted the military for so long. 

For those effected by the policy this is a must watch. Highly recommended - I was able to watch it on Hulu!
