Stronger

Master Sergeant Victor Raphael (Ulises Larramendi) is nearing the end of his military career when an explosion in Afghanistan leaves him injured. Back home, he is thrust into battle once again, but he hasn't been trained for this type of warfare. Physical rehabilitation is painful, and he has more to overcome than his physical injuries. His wife, Michelle (Angela Sweet), is distant, and their marriage seems to be held together only by her sense of duty.

Vic's first response is isolation, but that becomes a dead end. Feeling hopeless and alone, he is introduced to something new and uncomfortable---meeting in a community with others who have endured and survived some terrible things, with the scars to prove it, are brought into his life. It is easy to see that these unlikely heroes now live with a hope and purpose far beyond this life. Somehow, their trials have made them STRONGER. (from the website)

Kitty Self

Kitty Self is the Assistant Producer for the Stronger movie. Her job is to help the producers, director, and videographer however she can. Sometimes it is providing a location for the scenes and providing food for the crew and cast when they are filming. Other times it involves editing written materials regarding the movie and its promotion. She has been with Reflective Life Ministries for nine years.

Kitty commented, "This movie about PTSD hits home because I was an Air Force brat and a Navy wife. Thankfully, my loved ones didn't experience the trauma so many men and women returning home from past or present wars did and still do. But, I am familiar enough with it to eagerly participate in the making of this film, which provides hope and encouragement to those broken, hurting men and women. The learning curve has been eye opening, especially the realization that many people outside of the military are going through their own debilitating trauma. We want this movie to bring awareness as well as hope in Christ."
