I have noticed that there are more than a few military brats out there in the knitting blog world. So, I have added a few interesting brat links to my side bar.

Today, I found out about Brats: Our Journey Home… a documentary that is currently in production. It addresses the idea of brats as a lost American tribe… a subculture of people who grew up on military bases around the world and who feel different from the people around them.

I know my sense of normal is skewed compared to the majority of people I call friends. I also know that I have have experiences that they will probably never have…. I have been to places they will probably never go. I have trouble unpacking boxes. I don’t remember events by the year they happened, but by where I lived at the time.

For the curious…

The About the Film section is really interesting… it also has links to pages about things like Moving or Life on Base if you scroll down. There’s also information on the filmmakers, the people they interviewed, and how to make a donation to help them get through post-production and get the film into film festivals.
