Special Holiday Pre-Release Screening: “Lone Survivor”
December 11, 2013
Dodge College continues its annual tradition of sharing a special pre-release feature film for students, just before the holiday break.
In partnership with our friends at the Audio Engineering Society (AES), this year, we’re screening the film Lone Survivor December 14 at 7PM:
Based on The New York Times bestselling true story of heroism, courage and survival, LONE SURVIVOR tells the incredible tale of four Navy SEALs on a covert mission to neutralize a high-level al-Qaeda operative who are ambushed by the enemy in the mountains of Afghanistan. Faced with an impossible moral decision, the small band is isolated from help and surrounded by a much larger force of Taliban ready for war. As they confront unthinkable odds together, the four men find reserves of strength and resilience as they stay in the fight to the finish.
Mark Wahlberg stars as Marcus Luttrell, the author of the first-person memoir Lone Survivor, whose book has become a motivational resource for its lessons on how the power of the human spirit is tested when we are pushed beyond our mental and physical limits. Starring alongside Wahlberg as the other members of the SEAL team are Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch and Ben Foster.
LONE SURVIVOR is written and directed by Peter Berg, who again crafts a striking portrait of the unbreakable bonds between men that he first explored in Friday Night Lights.
Tickets are completely FREE for Chapman University students! To reserve your seat, just fill out this quick RSVP form.
The film opens on Christmas Day in select theaters, and begins its wide release January 10, so start your break off with a bang this weekend!
