Documentary Screening of Body of War
Primary tabs
Join Peace Advocates, First Unitarian Church, 220 S. Winton, on Friday, March 6 at 7 pm for a screening of Body of War.
"Body of War is a documentary following Tomas Young, an Iraq War veteran paralyzed from a bullet to the spine, on a physical and emotional journey as he adapts to his new body and begins to question the decision to go to war in Iraq. From soldier to anti-war activist, the film takes an unflinching view of the physical and emotional aftermath of war through the eyes of an American hero. The film unfolds on two parallel tracks. On the one hand, we see Tomas evolving into a powerful voice against the war as he struggles to deal with the complexities of a paralyzed body. And on the other hand, we see the historic debate unfolding in the Congress about going to war in Iraq."
The film is written & directed by Ellen Spiro and Phil Donahue.
It is a great, moving, important film. Bill and I went to the opening in NYC last year. Donahue, (filmmaker) Spiro, and Tomas's mom were all there (Alan Alda in audience).
