A unpredictably timely film A Marine Story touches on issues surrounding 'don't ask, dont' tell.' A decorated Marine officer (Dreya Weber, The Gymnast) unexpectedly returns home from the war and is quickly recruited to help a troubled teen (Paris Pickard) prepare for boot camp, but when the true reasons for her return become known it threatens the future for both of them. It is revealed that the reason for her return is the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, a ban on gay and lesbian service members. E-mails sent by another woman containing implications of homosexual relations were discovered on a computer on her base. As a closeted lesbian faced with the choice of a hearing to prove she abstained from any sexual activity while in the service or an honorable discharge, she reluctantly leaves the service. Dealing with an issue that now has tremendous relevance as American troops are stretched to the breaking point, A Marine Story highlights the absurdity of the military ban on gays through the personal story of one courageous woman.
“This film does not go where you might think it will go because it’s so credibly written, acted and directed. Don’t ask, don’t tell? How about: Don’t miss this film.” – San Francisco Chronicle
“A strong, character-driven riposte to Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell . . .Weber is first-rate.” – Variety
