Event Details

The Rotary Club of Wall Street New York is pleased to invite you to our Third Annual Film Screening. Please join us for a screening of the extremely powerful documentary, Striking a Chord. Our screening will benefit the work of The Bob Woodruff Foundation (Remind.org). an organization that has impacted well over 1,000,000 service members, veterans, family members, and support personnel.

Striking a Chord brings the audience right into the army bases in Iraq. The film shows the boredom and isolation, the effect of repeated deployments, and the need to create experiences that bring the troops some consolation. Long lines of soldiers waiting to speak with Nell Bryden and the band after every concert attest to the effect of the music on the troops. Their fervent applause and heartfelt comments show how deeply they respond to the concerts.

Inter-cut with uplifting and moving scenes of Nell’s performances and talks with the soldiers are interviews with a psychiatrist who discusses how music addresses PTSD, promoting relaxation, expression of feelings and healing invisible battle scars.

Most importantly, Striking a Chord reminds us that when our soldiers return home, they need special care and attention. PTSD is a disorder which many veterans are ashamed to speak about, yet it’s all too common. As the film shows, music can provide a way to begin the healing process.
