DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fathom Events, in partnership with GI Film Group, presents “The
GI Film Festival Cinematic Salute to the Troops” on Thursday,
April 7, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. local time. The GI Film Festival, hailed by Bloomberg
News as “Sundance for the troops,” will present two short
documentaries as part of the Fathom event – “Climb,” the story of a
double amputee’s journey for charity and “The Real Inglorious Bastards,”
a story about a U.S. WWII veteran’s incredible undercover mission in
Nazi-occupied Europe. Hosted by Jamie Kaler (American Heroes Channel’s
America: Facts vs. Fiction) with special appearances by Adam Driver
(“Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” “Girls”), Gary Sinise (“Forrest Gump,”
“Apollo 13”), and others. The event also includes an exclusive sneak
peek of GI Film Festival X, the festival’s 10th annual event, and the
upcoming military apocalyptic feature, “Range 15,” written and produced
by veterans of the U.S. military. As part of their Joining Forces
initiative, First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden recorded a
special message for this event.

Tickets for “The GI Film Festival Cinematic Salute to the Troops” can be
purchased online starting Friday, March 11, 2016 by visiting www.FathomEvents.com
or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will
be able to enjoy the event in more than 375 movie theaters. For a
complete list of theater locations visit the Fathom Events website
(theaters and participants are subject to change).

“As a veteran of the U.S. Navy, it has been an honor and privilege to
host the GI Film Festival over the past few years. I’m very proud to
play a small part in the amazing accomplishments that they’ve achieved
over the past decade. It’s important to help the people who have served
our country and tell their stories. Now that the festival has reached a
national platform, I look forward to helping them move forward on this
important event with Fathom,” said Jamie Kaler.

This one-night event features two dynamic stories, honoring the warrior
spirit. “Climb,” a 15-minute award-winning documentary short, narrated
by actor Gary Sinise, tells the story of double amputee Rob Jones who
biked across the country during one of the coldest winters on record to
raise money for veteran charities. Second, the award-winning
documentary, “The Real Inglorious Bastards,” tells the remarkable true
story of a group of Jewish refugees who join the U.S. military and
return to Germany to perform one of the most daring special-forces
intelligence operations during WWII.

“Fathom is always thrilled for the opportunity to pay tribute to our
troops. This event allows audiences to honor veterans that have served
in recent wars and to reflect on the service from years past. We are
proud to be partnering with the GI Film Festival in their 10th year to
bring this to theaters nationwide,” said Fathom Events CEO John Rubey.

“As a military family we could not be happier to kick-off our 10th year
celebration of the GI Film Festival with our new partnership with Fathom
Events. We are so excited to share this dynamic night of entertainment
about our military heroes in theaters coast to coast, providing
interaction, entertainment and insight into the important role members
of our Armed Forces play at home and abroad,” stated GI Film Festival
Co-Founders Army veteran Laura Law-Millett and her husband, Brandon
Millett.
