Vets Finding Vets Doc To Be Shown

The Fenton History Center’s Vets Finding Vets program will present a documentary film about the rise in veteran suicide from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Monday in the Scharmann Theater at Jamestown Community College. The film, “Project 22”, was produced by Theo Collins, a veteran and Jamestown native. While the film is about the current veteran suicide epidemic, it is intended to be an inspirational and uplifting film that starts on the West Coast with a couple of motorcycle riders and through the course of the ride across the country, the message becomes more hopeful through the stories of veterans who found their own individual inspirations.
