Two New Films About Vets and The War to Premier at TriBeCa Film Festival:

In January, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) took the message of today's Troops and Veterans to the Sundance Film Festival as part of the premier of "The Ground Truth," a documentary film following the lives of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans after they return from war.

Next month, two more films about Veterans' issues and the Iraq War will premier at the TriBeCa film festival in New York City. "When I Came Home" chronicles the all-too-common problem of homelessness that many Veterans face when they return from war. The second film, "The War Tapes," is the first documentary shot entirely by the Soldiers themselves. IAVA was involved with each of these films from the beginning.
