Dear Friends

One of the untold stories of the Iraq War is of those soldiers who have had the courage to resist their orders to kill. Seeing the carnage and brutality they have said no –and have faced the consequences.

Soldiers of Conscience tells the story of several of these men and of their transformation from soldier to Conscientious Objector in the midst of war. It is moving. It is informative. It gives a close up view of men in war and in struggle with their consciences.

A few of us had the opportunity to see Soldiers of Conscience at the Mill Valley Film Festival and felt it vitally important that a wider audience see it.

In order for that to happen the producers have to raise $20,000 to attain rights for some of the footage which is now only licensed for limited showing. With more raised, a full scale marketing and distribution effort can begin.

We felt it so important that we want to help and know that many of you will, also.

This is a film you have to see!

Please, hold this date and join us. We will be posting reservation info on the Ruth Group Blog, http://www.ruthgroup.org very soon. All proceeds will go to the movie Soldiers of Conscience.
