Semper Fi Premieres Monday
On Monday, Showtime premieres Semper Fi: One Marine's Journey, based on the experiences of SLDN client Jeff Key.
The film, which repeats throughout the week on Showtime, has received rave reviews for its wrenching portrayal of life under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," and its unflinching look at the war in Iraq.
Bay Area Reporter recently wrote that "Framed around Key's direct address to the camera, excerpts from his one-man play, and recollections of family and friends from Alabama and LA, Semper Fi draws on the pivotal two months Key spent on active duty in Iraq, his journals, photos and video of smiling Iraqi kids, and finally the sight of a med-evac chopper airlifting him back home to treat a non-combat-related injury."
You can read this morning's Washington Blade interview with Key here. And be sure to tune into Showtime, beginning Monday, to see Semper Fi yourself.

When channel surfing, I came across the last half of Semper Fi. I was overwhelmed. How can I obtain a DVD of this? I would like it for home use, and for the local (Wenatchee, WA) PFLAG of which I am one of the founders.<BR> Thank You…....... Richard<BR> .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
