Three incredible films, in a youth-centered event:

All That I Can Be
A first-hand look at the military recruiting process from the lens of New 
York high school students.  All That I Can Be is the winner of the Economic 
Justice Award at the Fifth Annual Media that Matters Film Festival in June 
2005.

Occupation: Dreamland
Occupation: Dreamland documents the lives of soldiers as they embark on the 
military assault of Fallujah in the winter of 2004.  Occupation Dreamland 
won the Best Documentary at the Memphis Film Festival 2005.  It also was an 
award winner at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival 2005 in 
recognition of the film's "potential to engage audiences to meaningful 
action that results in concrete impact and social change."

Purple Hearts
Tells the story of wounded soldiers upon returning home.

$5 admission charge (free tickets are available by calling AFSC, 413.584.8975).
Followed by discussion with the filmmakers.

recruiting work in our region will be available.
