Not Yet Begun To Fight Trailer from Story Road Films – Justin Lubke on Vimeo.
You’ve probably seen this floating around today (hat tip to SOL at Headhunters among others), though we thought it would be more than worth another mention to help get the word out.
From the Not Yet Begun to Fight Site (a must visit for more) –
Retired Marine Colonel Eric Hastings remembers flight missions ‘high above the death and destruction’ in Vietnam. From the cockpit, he traced meandering ribbons that cut through the jungle. He recognized the shapes of the trout streams of home. Every night, he dreamed about fly-fishing. When he returned home to Montana in 1969, to a nation decades away from diagnosing PTSD, he went to the water. He tied a fly onto a line and cast. The river, he says, healed him.
In the space between war and a new battle, NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT unfolds: The Colonel reaches out to five men, a new generation returning from war. He brings them to the river and shares his secret: there are places where you can still be consumed by a simple act, find joy in a fight, and be redeemed as you gently release another creature, unharmed, into quiet waters.
Catch it at the Helena Cinemark 8 Friday the 15th at 730 and Saturday the 16th at 2.
WARNING: We suspect this film is rated BYOT (bring your own tissues – this should be a ‘not a dry eye in the house’ flick).
