A new CPTV documentary explores how some female veterans come back from war and struggle with homelessness. In War Zone/Comfort Zone, writer and producer Lizzie Warren profiles two women in Connecticut who struggle with community opposition to open a transitional home for women veterans, the first in the state. WNPR's Lucy Nalpathanchil spoke with Lizzie Warren about the film. War Zone Comfort Zone premieres on CPTV Tuesday night at 9 and will be rebroadcast again Sunday Nov 13, 2011 at 6 pm.
