(Northwest Florida IMC) | | Time: 07:00 PM | View details... |
An ocean of over 1500 crosses swells across the sand at the Santa Monica Pier every Sunday, erected by Veterans For Peace. It is a tribute not only to the fallen U.S. soldiers in Iraq, but also to the countless innocent Iraqi citizens.
A flag draped coffin rests forefront, beside a 20 foot long board that names the dead servicemen and women. Visitors are invited to write the name of a soldier, any personal comment, and with a fresh flower, place an identity to each lonely cross. An electric guitar gently weeps taps while we hear the voice of Jane Bright who lost her son in Iraq. We see the newspaper dceclaring that the Pentagon banned all photos of flag draped coffins returning from conflict. Then, visit Steve Sherrill's shop, a carpenter in Santa Barbara, who sought a way to acknowledge our American dead. Friends and families drive for hours to place photos of their loved ones at this temporary cemetery.
The film, Arlington West, allows all to witness the poignant conversations, dramatic revelations, silences, personal experience, and share the tears with those who are paying the highest prices for war. A full array of opinions and sentiments are presented: Active Duty Soldiers and Marines, Military Families, Veterans, and Children are featured in this revealing 56 minute Documentary.
