“The Ground Truth,” is one of the fifteen films that made the 2007 Academy Award shortlist for best documentary of 2006. The screening will be held at Guilford College (Bryan Jr Auditorium) in the Frank Family Science Center, in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Monday, November 27 at 6:45 PM. The documentary is two hours long and they will have an open discussion following the film. I hope to see some familiar faces at this screening. The list of reviews this film received is impressive.

“The best film I’ve seen to emerge out of the 9/11 attacks.”
- Richard Corliss, TIME MAGAZINE

“‘The Ground Truth’…is a powerful, polemical, probing
examination of the devastation the war has taken on returning soldiers.”
- David Ansen, NEWSWEEK

“An upsetting but mesmerizing series of interviews with veterans of the Iraq war.” “‘The Ground Truth’ is an emotionally potent work.”
- David Denby, THE NEW YORKER

“‘The Ground Truth’ stands out as an especially pointed indictment of the American military’s treatment of its own people on and off the battlefield.”
- Stephen Holden, THE NEW YORK TIMES

“Films like Top Gun and newscasts of 9/11 motivated some Americans to enlist. Thoughtful documentaries like ‘The Ground Truth’ urge the rest of us to shoulder the consequences.”
- Bill Stamets, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
