H ow does an Army officer full of promise\, praised by his commanders as exe mplary with unlimited potential\, come to face a felony conviction\, a pri son term and a dishonorable discharge?&nbsp\;\n\n&ldquo\;Lt. Watada&rdquo\ ; tells the story of the first commissioned military officer to refuse to deploy to Iraq and to speak out about his belief that the war is illegal a nd a violation of his constitutional oath. It is a David and Goliath story as Lt. Watada demonstrates his willingness to face court-martial and eigh t years in prison rather than be a party to war crimes. And it is an inten sely personal story as the film dramatizes what it means for a lone soldie r to publicly challenge Presidential war policy in order to honor his oath to the Constitution\, to fulfill his duty as an officer\, and to follow t he rule of law.&nbsp\;\n\nThere will be a Q&amp\;A after the screening wit h the filmmaker.\n\nProgram is free&nbsp\;with&nbsp\;<a href="http://www.j anm.org/visit/">admission</a>.&nbsp\;Reservations recommended to&nbsp\;<a href="mailto:rsvp@janm.org">rsvp@janm.org</a>&nbsp\;or 213.625.0414 at lea st 48 hours prior to the event.&nbsp\;Include the name\, date\, and time o f the program\, as well as your name and the total in your party.&nbsp\;\n \n<a href="http://www.janm.org/">www.janm.org</a> DTSTAMP:20240418T233812Z SUMMARY:FILM SCREENING: "Lt.
