I will be hosting a screening for the documentary “What I Want You to Know” on Thursday, December 21st at 6:30pm. This film is a series of interviews from Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, telling their stores about why they enlisted, what they experienced, and how their opinions about the wars shifted over the course of their service.

I was connected with the director through the chair of NH SVAC (the State Veterans Advisory Committee) after I tried to convince them to change their position on Defend the Guard. It resonated with me, deeply, and I wrote a multi-page email to the team behind the film with a list of bullet points of how my deployment experiences related to the stories being told. I asked how I could help spread the message, and they offered me the opportunity to host a screening!

With the upcoming floor vote (and hopefully subsequent Senate hearing/vote) on Defend the Guard, this is a great opportunity for synergy between this film and legislation in New Hampshire. After the movie I’ll be explaining what we can all do to push back against the DC war machine, and protect the next generation from repeating the mistakes of the last two decades.

Tickets are free, but limited. Get them here.
