This is a very personal documentary. When my (now) husband deployed to Iraq, I lived through the challenges of having a loved one in a combat zone.
I felt something needed to be done to advocate for the millions of families coping with the effects of war. It’s time for the courageous story of Military Families to be heard.

While Time Stands Still
An inspiring documentary about love, courage, and sacrifice, While Time Stands Still tells the gripping story of American Military Families during war, and what it takes to put the pieces back together afterwards.
“If you have ever wondered how others make it through Deployment, tried to explain to your Spouse what it’s like to hold down the fort, or felt your neighbors don’t understand what having a child in a war zone really means, the documentary While Time Stands Still is for you. This must-see film by Spouse of an Iraq War Veteran Elena Miliaresis brings our story to light.”
Filmmaker Elena Miliaresis shares her own experience as she follows two wives. As these young women navigate the challenges that come their way, they not only find the strength to survive, but also discover their own self-worth.
Six years in the making, with over a hundred interviews from Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, National Guard, Reserve and Veteran Families, this riveting film is the journey to healing of America’s brave Military Families.
While Time Stands Still aired on Public Television stations across the country and was broadcast on the the WORLD Channel. The film has been featured on abc7, PBS, and NPR, and is included in celebrations for Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
