"Fighting for Life" documentary screening

Fighting for Life is a powerful, sobering and emotional feature documentary portrait of American military medicine. The film combines three stories about Army medical care. First, it follows soldiers wounded in Iraq and their journey home through hospitals in Iraq, then Germany and finally Walter Reed in Washington D.C. Second, it tells the stories of American military doctors, nurses and medics working with skill, compassion and dedication. Third, it follows students at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, on the campus of the National Naval Medical Center, on their journey toward becoming career military physicians.

There will be a screening at the Carnegie Institute on Saturday May 17, 2008 at 4:30pm. Tickets price $10.00 available from the GI Film Festival.
