Pre-Release Screening: HACKSAW RIDGE
October 25, 2016
Please join us for an advanced pre-release screening of HACKSAW RIDGE on November 3, 7p.m. in the Folino Theater. Seating is first come, first served.
HACKSAW RIDGE is the extraordinary true story of Desmond Doss [Andrew Garfield] who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun. He was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon, as he believed that while the war was justified, killing was nevertheless wrong. As an army medic, he single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. Doss was the first conscientious objector awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Producer David Permut will be on hand for a Q&A after the screening.
