SOCIAL ISSUES, CONSCIOUS SOLUTIONS
Southwest Premiere
SECOND SCREENING | Mary D. Fisher Theatre | Sunday, Jun 5, 1:00 pm |
Interweaving the stories of four Iraq War veterans, Thank You for Your Service takes aim at the nation's crippled understanding of war trauma and failed policies designed to treat a national crisis. Reentry into civilian life presents difficult and varied challenges of PTSD, from survivor's guilt to moral dilemma. However, alternative modalities in Native American ceremonial rituals, inner peace derived from meditative practice and the tranquility brought by equine therapy brings these soldiers real healing. Listen to candid interviews of top military and civilian leaders, including Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Admiral Mike Mullen, Generals David Petraeus and Loree Sutton, Senator Patty Murray and Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
A reel healing session is included with the first screening only.
A Q&A with director Tom Donahue, producer Ilan Arboleda and Sgt. William Rodriguez follows.REEL HEALING: Healing the Body with Yoga Nidra | |||
