Johnson Center, Cinema

Where Soldiers Come From screens at 4:30pm on September 11th in the Johnson Center Cinema, followed by a Q&A with director Heather Courtney and subject Dominic Fredianelli. 

The Emmy Award-winning documentary Where Soldiers Come From paints an intimate portrait of three friends' four-year journey from Michigan's Upper Peninsula to Afghanistan and back again. Dom Fredianelli takes art classes and paints large murals in the abandoned buildings that belonged to a once-thriving copper mining industry; Cole Smith is the comedian in the group; and Matt Beaudoin ("Bodi") has a history of military service in his family and is proud to serve his country.

The event is free and open to the public. 

Where Soldiers Come From and Heather Courtney at GMU is sponsored by the Honors College and Film & Media Studies, and cosponsored by Criminology, Law, and Society, University Life, and the Everlasting Life Cafe.
