* The Ground Truth, shows in a deeply moving way how the troops and families are devastated by being criminally used in Iraq or Afghanistan by the government. This movie was rated by the Boston Globe at its premier as a "must see" film that will galvanize viewers like nothing has done thus far, to act to speak out against such crimes.
