The film VETERANS tracks five US Vets recovering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, as they make their way through the streets of Los Angeles. Locked in solitary battles of isolation, dislocation and memory, these Vets converge in a quiet alley and find themselves joining in a ritual re-enactment of combat before returning to their separate lives.

Margaret Williams and Victoria Marks, known for their moving and visually compelling dance film collaborations, (including OUTSIDE IN, MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS and MEN) were re-united through EMPAC, for the first time in 11 years. The performers met Marks and Williams while involved in a Combat Rehab/Post Traumatic Stress Disorder program at the VA Hospital in West Los Angeles.
