Women Making a Difference Begins Fourth Independent Film Series in Wilton

Amherst, NH-- Women Making a Difference, an area women's group, announces the fourth series of recently released independent films to be shown on Sundays, from March 18 through April 29 at 4pm at the Wilton Town Hall Theater. Most of these films will be followed by discussions. Admission to films and discussions is free and open to the public, however donations will be accepted to help defray costs.

There will be six featured films shown on the following dates: March 18, 25, April 1, 15, 22 and 29. No showing will occur on Easter Sunday, April 8th. The purpose of the films is to bring awareness of and education to the public of certain controversial or underreported topics which have not been explored, debated or fully revealed as truthful information by the mainstream media, organizations or the government.

The popular "Confronting the Issues" series will begin Sunday, March 18 at 3pm with a vigil in front of the Wilton Town Hall to highlight the Fourth anniversary of the Iraq War, then the film, The Ground Truth, will be shown at 4pm in the historic Wilton Town Hall Theater.

The Ground Truth stunned filmgoers at the 2006 Sundance and Nantucket Film Festivals. The subjects of Patricia Foulkrod's searing documentary feature are patriotic young Americans - ordinary men and women who heeded the call for military service in Iraq. The terrible conflict in Iraq, depicted with ferocious honesty in the film, is a prelude for the even more challenging battles fought by the soldiers returning home - with personal demons, an uncomprehending public, and an indifferent government. As these battles take shape, each soldier becomes a new kind of hero, bearing witness and giving support to other veterans, and learning to fearlessly wield the most powerful weapon of all - the truth.
