Soldiers of Conscience Film Screening
Thursday, June 10, 7pm @ BW. Free!
Check out the film’s official website
From the film’s website:
Soldiers of Conscience is a dramatic window on the dilemma of individual U.S. soldiers in the current Iraq War – when their finger is on the trigger and another human being is in their gun-sight. Made with cooperation from the U.S. Army and narrated by Peter Coyote, the film profiles eight American soldiers, including four who decide not to kill, and become conscientious objectors; and four who believe in their duty to kill if necessary. The film reveals all of them wrestling with the morality of killing in war, not as a philosophical problem, but as soldiers experience it – a split-second decision in combat that can never be forgotten or undone.”

Art Shop Garden Festival
Friday, June 11, 6pm-10pm @ FN
Saturday, June 12, 10am-3pm @ FN
