Arrive at 7:30 PM to See Leigh McCloskey’s “The Hieroglyph of The Human Soul” www.leighmccloskey.com BODY Of WAR is an intimate and transformational feature documentary about the true face of war today. Meet Tomas Young, 25 years old, paralyzed from a bullet to his spine-wounded after serving in Iraq for less than a week. Body of War is Tomas' coming home story as he evolves into a new person, coming to terms with his disability and finding his own unique and passionate voice against the war. The film features two original songs by EDDIE VEDDER. Body of War is a naked and honest portrayal of what it's like inside the body, heart and soul of this extraordinary and heroic young man. Body of War 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, we see the historic debate unfolding in the Congress about going to war in Iraq. Phil & Tomas Young, the Iraq War Veteran featured in Body of War, have been a focus in the media recently. They were on Democracy Now with Amy Goodman. Tomas Young's letter denouncing Bush and Cheney as war criminals on the 10th anniversary of the war in Iraq went viral on the Internet. Join us for this exciting evening with Phil Donahue, an American hero who stood up against the Iraq War when it was not a popular stand for the media. Not to be missed. - RSVP Necessary as Space is Limited. Body of War, a film by Ellen Spiro and Phil Donahue, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival to several standing ovations and acclaim. It won Best Documentary from the prestigious National Board of Review and was nominated for Best Documentary from the Producer's Guild of America. Body of War was short-listed for an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary and was released theatrically through Landmark Theatres.
