DESCRIPTION:Peace Action of San Mateo County will present "The Ground Truth," a film 
 about the veterans of the US invasion and ongoing occupation of Iraq. 
 Hailed as "powerful" and "quietly unflinching," Patricia Foulkrod's searing 
 documentary feature includes exclusive footage that will stir audiences. 
 The filmmaker's subjects are 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.\n\nHear and witness the 
 lives of our soldiers in this penetrating film.\n\nThe shocking ground 
 conflict is only a prelude to even more challenging battles these reluctant 
 heroes face upon their return home.\n\nFrom the Director's Statement: "This 
 film is not about the right or the left, or about blue or red states. It is 
 about the hundreds of thousands of U.S. soldiers who have been released by 
 the military after serving in Iraq - and the truth they hope to share with 
 their fellow citizens."\n\n"The Ground Truth" stunned filmgoers at the 2006 
 Sundance and Nantucket Film Festivals.\n\nThe UU is wheelchair accessible 
 at the Ellsworth entrance.\n
