Emma Spencer is directing and producing, Welcome Home, Sister (coming January, 2027), a documentary bringing attention to the American Red Cross Donut Dollies' service and the challenges they've faced for more than fifty years as civilian veterans excluded from Congressionally mandated Agent Orange benefits and compensation. The film follows Penni Evans, a former Donut Dolly, whose service-related Agent Orange exposure may have caused the breast cancer she has been battling for over a year. The impetus for the project began when Spencer archived the oral histories on this website in the Library of Congress's Veterans History Project. However, the LOC rejected all civilian women’s oral histories, including those of the Red Cross Donut Dollies.

​

In 2022, Spencer created her Amherst College senior thesis exhibition, So, What’s a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?, earning Summa Cum Laude honors. Collaborating with Diane Carlson Evans, founder of the Vietnam Women’s Memorial, Spencer helped establish one of the first archives dedicated to women Vietnam veterans.

​

Previously, in 2019, when Spencer realized that many American Vietnam War veterans rarely had the opportunity to share their stories due to public disdain toward the war, she set out to give the veterans a platform and help American civilians better understand the war's realities. Inspired by the war’s 50th anniversary and her grandfather, Naval Officer Scott Wilson Sr., she launched Vietnam War Veterans: Then and Now with support from several veteran organizations (including Vietnam Veterans of America, Associates of Vietnam Veterans of America, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, The United States Vietnam War Commemoration, and The Witness to War Foundation).  ​​
