JUSTICE CINEMA -- "BODY OF WAR"

Please Join Us for a Film and Discussion


Justice Cinema returns to the parlor on the evening of February 17th at 7:30 PM for a showing of "Body of War", a documentary about a wounded soldier and his return to the US.  It is the story of 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.

ALL  are invited.  Please RSVP at admin@bethesdaucc.org or 301-365-3387.
