A documentary I'm connected to…

My wife, Dr. Lisa Gilman, finished a documentary film this past spring, and I helped her out with some of the music by recording original pieces and placing a few songs (one by a friend, one by a band I was in…). The film is called Grounds for Resistance, and you can find out all about it here (or here, for you FB people). Basically, it follows the story of a group of young vets of the U.S. Armed Forces who served in Iraq, and, upon discharge, gather together and start an anti-war, G.I. rights coffee house just outside the gates of Joint Base Lewis-McChord (near Olympia, WA). The coffee house is called Coffee Strong (here is their FB page). Should you be inclined, please do support them as the work they do for vets is invaluable!

Check out the trailer to get a sense of the film:
