I have a copy of the documentary 'An Unlikely Weapon' -- about Eddie Adams and his Pulitzer Prize winning photo of the Vietcong prisoner shooting. http://www.anunlikelyweapon.com/

It's a really interesting film and I think a lot of TPMG members would really enjoy watching it. If there is a location that can accommodate enough members on, say, a Sunday afternoon, I'd be willing to lend it out for showing.

I didn't want to add this to the ad-hoc events page, since I don't have a date/location, etc. (Mike, feel free to move this if it's still better there).

Anyone have location suggestions?

Here is the synopsis of the film: http://www.anunlikelyweapon.com/synopsis.html

Here is more about Eddie Adams if you're not familiar with him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Adam ... grapher%29

I can look into using the theatre in my loft. It can accommodate up to 30-40 people if folks are willing to sit on the floor (Seating for 12-15 IIRC).

The theatre has a 6-7 foot screen and is equipped with a sound system and a DVD player.

Located downtown.

Yeah, not withstanding date and time, I would be interested in seeing this movie, especially with tpmg since it would make for some interesting discussion. All depends on date and time.

Wow......I've never heard of this gentleman. I've seen the photo but never looked into the details. I would be into a viewing.

Ken - date is up to you if you want to book your party room. If I can't make it, I can get the DVD down there.
