The HBO documentary Crisis Hotline: Veterans Press 1 picked up the Oscar for Best Short-Subject Documentary at Sunday night’s 87th annual Academy Awards.

The 40-minute film follows staffers at the Department of Veterans Affairs’ 24-hour call center as they speak with veterans experiencing emotional crises.

I hope I didn't overlook it, but I searched and couldn't find any existing threads about this documentary. No, I absolutely didn't/wouldn't watch the Oscars on Sunday night. But when I read the winners list, and saw that this 40-minute film had won the award for best documentary -short form, I sought it out. From a military brat, whose father is a decorated Korean War Veteran and whose brother was KIA, I can tell you that the movie is very sad and emotional. It is currently available on HBO On Demand and HBO to Go. I couldn't find it on Netflix or Amazon Prime, so HBO may possibly have exclusive rights currently. God bless our military veterans.

Looking forward to learning more about this.
