FLAT DADDY, award-winning documentary on military families, screening at the Fallbrook International Film Festival
Only 1% of Americans currently serve in the U.S. Military, and their families have borne the disproportionate burden of more than a decade at war. Many have turned to “Flat Daddies” and"Heroes on a Stick," life-sized cardboard cutouts of their husbands, wives, parents and children serving overseas, to ease the pain of repeated deployments. Using these two-dimensional surrogates as a connecting thread, the documentary film FLAT DADDY follows four such families over the course of a year to explore the lasting impact of the war on those left behind. (82 minutes)
FLAT DADDY is returning to the area after a successful screening last year at the Oceanside International Film Festival. If you missed the film then, hope you'll join us at this screening!
