Screening Liberally: The Ground Truth

The Ground Truth by Patricia FoulkrodOne of my favorite screening series, Screening Liberally, is holding a fundraiser for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) with a screening of The Ground Truth by Patricia Foulkrod. “The terrible conflict in Iraq, depicted with ferocious honesty in the film, is a prelude for the even more challenging battles fought by the soldiers returning home - with personal demons, an uncomprehending public, and an indifferent government. As these battles take shape, each soldier becomes a new kind of hero, bearing witness and giving support to other veterans, and learning to fearlessly wield the most powerful weapon of all - the truth.”

When: Saturday, January 27th
Time & Place: 6:45pm at Katwalk Lounge (2 West 35th street between 5th and 6th
avenues).
Cost: $10 (100% goes to the cause) Tickets>>

If you aren’t in the area but would still like to be involved, from the film’s website, you can purchase a DVD with a home viewing screening kit to host your own viewing.
