"Best Documentary of the Year" - National Board of Review

"This is a film about guts, over there and back here.
Born on the Fourth of July and Coming Home for a new generation."
Sean Penn

[ www.bodyofwar.com ]

Tomas Young, a 26-year-old veteran, was shot and paralyzed after
serving 5 days in Iraq. His story is told in the critically acclaimed
antiwar feature documentary Body of War, produced and directed by
legendary talk show host Phil Donahue and award-winning filmmaker
Ellen Spiro.

Body of War is an intimate human drama wrapped in a political
documentary -- full of angst and humor and hope. As the paralyzed
veteran Tomas deals with his disability, he evolves into a new person,
finding his own passionate voice against the war. Body of War also
captures the historic debate in the Congress in the fall of 2002
authorizing the war and celebrates those that stood up against the
rush to invade.

Body of War has a companion double-CD compilation "Body of War: Songs
that Inspired an Iraq War Veteran" from Sire Records
(www.bodyofwarmusic.com) that features two original songs from the
film by Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam.

Body of War opens to the public in the Bay area on Friday, April 18:
+ SF Theatrical Opening - Embarcadero Center Cinema (One Embarcadero
Center, Promenade Level, SF)
+ Berkeley Theatrical Opening - Shattuck Cinemas (2230 Shattuck
Avenue, Berkeley)

Body of War was voted "Best Documentary of the Year" by the National
Board of Review, nominated for "Best Documentary" by the Producers
Guild of America, and received multiple audience awards at film
festivals from Toronto to Palm Springs.

Yes, please tell us which Radio Voices are quick enough to pass on
this freebie
to their listeners. But might that adversely affect the perceived
interests of the war criminals who own the stations? Is this a
broadcasting question?
