The Ground Truth
The First Friday Film for June: June 1st.
6:30 pm
The Church in Society Commission of Northaven
United Methodist Church will feature the movie The Ground Truth at the June
First Friday Film series. Join us Friday, June 1st at 6:30 p.m. in rooms 237 and
239 to view this documentary in celebration of Memorial Day and to honor the men
and women who have served in Iraq. See the film synopsis
below.
Hailed as "powerful" and "quietly unflinching," Patricia Foulkrod's searing documentary feature includes exclusive footage of patriotic young Americans - ordinary men and women who heeded the call for military service in Iraq - as they experience recruitment and training, combat, homecoming, and the struggle to reintegrate with families and communities. 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.
