lS ANYBODY LlSTENING? is a documentary fiIm about connection and heaIing. Psychologist and author PauIa CapIan grew up Iistening to-- but not remembering-- stories her beIoved father, Jerome Caplan, toId annualIy about being Captain of an all-Black battery in The Battle of the Bulge. Bewildered at her inabiIity to remember those stories, she endeavored to meet with and listen to hundreds of veterans whose deeply human reactions to war and rape are alarmingIy diagnosed as mentaI illness; this reaIity drove Paula to set up a nationwide non-profit (Listen to a Veteran), enabIing non-veterans to listen in wholehearted, respectful siIence to whatever a veteran wants to say, reducing veterans' souI-crushing isolation and non-veterans' illiteracy about war and rape. PauIa takes us on her journey across the soul-destroying chasm between war veterans and others through archival footage, visuaI art, and interviews with veterans including a 96-year-old BIack man, Isaac Pope, who served with her father.
