Legendary singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson, the son of an Air Force general, leads us on a heartfelt journey into the strange but interesting life of an American military brat. Based on poignant and provocative interviews with adult brats of all ethnicities, including General H. Norman Schwarzkopf and author Mary Edwards Wertsch, BRATS is the first non-fiction film to explore this peculiar subculture from the child's point-of-view. What it's like to: Move twelve times before you graduate from high school... Feel like an outsider in your own country... Go to an integrated school 20 years before the civil rights movement... Grow up in a paradox that is idealistic and authoritarian, privileged and perilous, supportive and stifling - all at the same time... The film additionally explores how being a brat impacts adult life... when a brat leaves the armed forces environment and struggles to fit in. Featuring songs by Kris Kristofferson and archival footage from post-war Germany and Japan. BRATS is a gripping documentary with universal dimensions that should be seen by everyone concerned about children (Marlene Koenig & Betty Nicholas, Retired DoD Teachers).
