ACLU Screening

It's turning out to be a busy year already.  I'm lucky.  I'm getting gigs AND I'm being asked to screen my documentary. 

This next screening coming up is particularly special to me because it is for the Ventura Chapter of the ACLU.  The subject of the evening will be helping our homeless veterans and my film will screen first.  I have feelings about homeless veterans because I am a child of the 60's and we did not treat our vets when they came home from Nam the way we are treating returning vets today.  SO many Vietnam veterans are homeless and that's as wrong in my mind as I believe war, any war, is.  I hope my film can help some vets left out there on the street today.

I will blog more about this as the time nears but for now, here are the particulars for the ACLU screening:

February 5th
6PM
Grant T. Brimhall Library, Large Conference Room
1401 E. Janss Road, Thousand Oaks, CA
(805) 449-2660

"Voices of the Homeless" tells the story of a JAZZ inspired event where improvisational musicians helped the homeless tell their own stories in concert.  It is a story of how music heals and how special the homeless as well as the jazz improvisers are.

Thanks for reading.
