The film, a chronicle of Mayra and Lupe Guillén's fight for changes in the wake of their sister's murder, begins streaming Nov. 17
The two stars of the film are Guillén's sisters, Mayra and Lupe Guillén, who became reluctant activists in the face of the Army’s seeming indifference, incompetence and stonewalling that began from the day Vanessa disappeared on that fateful April day to the discovery of her remains more than two months later. Recalls Mayra succinctly about the Army’s lack of transparency, “Everything was really shady.
Lucy Del Gaudio, an Army veteran and survivors’ advocate, echoes his feelings and says the base is “the worst of the worst when it comes to command culture.” Mayra and Lupe took to social media, organizing increasingly large protests outside the entrance to Fort Hood. That got the attention of the media and kept the spotlight shining on the base, as did Mayra’s hiring of attorney Natalie Khawam.
