Almost Sunrise is a film that eschews stereotypes, and instead, captures an unprecedented portrait of veterans – one of hope, potential and untold possibilities. We predict there won’t be a dry eye at the end of this remarkable film! And we have the privilege of welcoming tonight, not only the director of the film but two of the star film subjects as well – who will all join us onstage for a Q & A.
