In light of the withdrawal of the majority of combat troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014, Where Soldiers Come From is a timely, Emmy-award winning documentary by Heather Courtney that follows the four-year journey of childhood friends forever changed by America's longest war. Where Soldiers Come From looks beyond the guns and policies of an ongoing war to tell a human story about family, friendship and community, and how war changes all.

Director Heather Courtney will be available following the screening on the plaza for questions and conversation. Courtney is an award winning documentary filmmaker based in Austin and Washington, DC.
