Description
A short documentary series on the Combat Paper Project. The Combat Paper Project works with returning veterans to help them heal and express themselves by teaching them how to turn their uniforms into paper and then use the paper to share their experiences.
  • Combat Paper Project- Colorado Springs
    The Combat Paper Project is by far one of the most inspiring projects for returning veterans that I have witnessed in which veterans take the uniforms they served in combat in and transform them into paper which is used to share poetry, art, stories, etc.  It is a project that creates a space to heal, share and find a sense of closure.  You can find out more about the project from their website- www.combatpaper.org
      The project tours around the country doing workshops with veterans and allies.  The series below was from a workshop in Colorado Springs.  It was published in a niche magazine called "Handmade Paper" and is available for further publication and licensing.
