Where Soldiers Come From
From a snowy small town in Northern Michigan to the mountains of Afghanistan and back, Where Soldiers Come From follows the four-year journey of childhood friends, forever changed by a faraway war. The New York Times calls the film a “quietly devastating documentary about growing up all too quickly.”
Where Soldiers Come From begins its theatrical run tonight, Friday, September 9, 2011, with screenings at New York City’s Village East Cinemas. Over the next few months, the film will be opening across the country.
(And don’t you forget you can watch the film on POV, starting November 10, 2011!)
