Check out our official selection badge for the Middle Coast Film Festival 2016 We are excited that "Veteran Kids" has been selected for the Middle Coast Film Festival to be shown on July 28th-30th in Bloomington, Indiana.  The event, co-hosted by film producer Susan Hackley, and Silouan Green, author and veteran, who works with veterans with PTSD, had some lively discussions with a broad range of community members with something to say about war and its impact. Veterans of Vietnam, World War II and the Iraq War had a lot to say about the need for deeper conversations about war. The message overwhelmingly was that when we send our sons and daughters off to fight a war, we should know exactly what we are asking them to do. It can be pretty ugly, and we shouldn't sanitize war to make ourselves feel better. Stay tuned for more community events like this one and make your voice heard!  Susan Hackley and Silouan Green together at the event Our open mike "A Conversation about War" with Producer and Director Susan Hackley and local Indiana veteran Silouan Green, will be hosting an event next Thursday, June 14th for a community gathering to talk about war.

When a nation goes to war, a nation should have a conversation on why we fight, how we fight, and what we do when the fighting stops and our troops come home. Never before have so few served relative to the general population, and to many Americans the wars are all but invisible. This Conversation about War is our first step in making sure that all Americans can express their thoughts about war and ask questions in an environment of respect and curiosity. This is for everyone. We hope you will come. Tuesday, June 14, 7 PM. Inventrek Technology Park Auditorium 700 East Firmin Street Kokomo, Indiana 46902 Have friends or family in Indiana?
