SERVING IN SILENCE is both an inspirational tale of courage and conviction and a touching and beautiful love story. After serving in the military for more than twenty years, including a tour of duty in Vietnam, Colonel Margarethe Cammermeyer (Close) had seen her share of battles. But nothing could prepare her for the fight ahead: an intensely personal struggle against the U.S. Army when she is discharged for being a lesbian. With the support of her partner Diane (Davis), Cammermeyer undertakes an against-all-odds battle against the Army's policy. But to do so, she must risk everything: her career, her privacy and even the love of her family.
