DESCRIPTION:Soldiers of Conscience: A Benefit Preview of an Unreleased 
 Film\n\nFilmmakers Gary Weimberg and Catherine Ryan capture the conflicts 
 over killing some US soldiers experience. From West Point grads to drill 
 sergeants, from Abu Ghraib interrogators to low-ranking 
 reservist-mechanics, virtually every soldier wrestles with his conscience 
 over this issue. This film reveals that far more soldiers refuse to kill 
 than is typically believed or portrayed. The fact that only 25% of soldiers 
 in WWI fired their weapons influenced military training so that now the 
 number of soldiers who fire their weapons is over 90%. Despite this 
 training, some soldiers make the decision to stop killing.\n\nMade with the 
 official permission of the US Army and filmed in state-of-the-art HD video, 
 Soldiers of Conscience includes never-before-seen footage of basic training 
 and the war in Iraq, with an original soundtrack from an Academy Award 
 winner and composer.\n\nThe film screening will be followed by a Q&A panel 
 and reception/refreshments with the filmmakers, conscientious objectors, 
 and members of the SFAI community. For more information, go to 
 www.socfilm.com.\n\nAll proceeds will help make the theatrical release of 
 this compelling film a reality.\n\nLOCATION:	San Francisco Art
