Out of the Box Treatments for Veterans, Mallory Lewis,Deborah Lewis, and Barry Westholm

Summary: Deborah Lewis launched Channel Productions in 2010 to create the first directories of their kind specializing in creative style videos that captured global attention. While covering a fundraiser for Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Service Dogs, Deborah became intrigued by this emerging and miraculous treatment for veterans who would otherwise face a desperate end. In the summer of 2013, she began production on the documentary "A Life of Thai" to raise awareness of the extraordinary support service dogs can bring to reclusive veterans battling PTSD. Channel Productions is presently raising funds for these highly trained service dogs.
