A Netflix documentary coming in November, 'I Am Vanessa Guillen,' revisits the story of a murder in 2020 at Fort Hood in Texas.
“At the core, this is a story about overcoming the greatest odds imaginable in the name of family, love and justice,” director Christy Wegener said about the film. “This is David vs. Goliath on steroids. Taking on the US military, one of the largest, most powerful institutions in America is no easy feat. In making the film, it was incredible to witness a family, in the most tragic moment of their lives, put their grief aside, step out into the public arena and fight for the greater good.
Other new sites and publishers on the internet have recounted the details of her murder enough by now. By way of highlighting her life, instead, viewers should know that Army Specialist Guillen was born in Houston, one of five siblings. She had a love of the military from an early age, often playing with her brother’s toy pistol. And, over the hesitation of her mother, she enlisted at 18.
Following Guillen’s murder, more than a dozen Fort Hood officials were either suspended or fired. Then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy ordered a sweeping investigation into the culture at Fort Hood, following a series of deaths, complaints of sexual harassment, and more at the base.
