Ventura, CA (PRWEB) July 4, 2007 -- Join Veterans and family members of those who have served on Saturday July 14th at 7PM in Ventura for a film screening and discussion on the truth about military recruiting and the nonviolent alternatives available to students and especially children of immigrant families.
We will be screening "Reveille! Reveille!" the film that chronicles the Iraq Veterans Against the War in their earliest attempts to prevent further atrocities and regain their humanity. From their initial gathering to their stand at the gates of the White House (which resulted in the largest mass arrest by U.S. Park Police since the Vietnam War) "Reveille! Reveille!" is an eye-opening experience that features Dennis Kyne, Jeff Key, Jimmey Massey and other Iraq War veterans.
Come and take your part in a movement that will not be silenced. Members of the military and their families will discuss the real casualties of war and exchange resources and information on how communities can help facilitate change.
