WLS Screening - "21 & a Wakeup"
Enter for your chance to attend The Big 89’s pre-release screening of 21 & a Wakeup at the Gene Siskel Film Center on August 30th at 8pm.
21 & a Wakeup Synopsis:
"21 & a Wakeup" is the first American motion picture about the Vietnam War ever allowed by the communist government in Hanoi to film on the real locations where the war took place. Produced in conjunction with Vietnam’s state-owned Feature Film Studio Number One, the picture was written and directed by ex-Marine, Chris McIntyre, who served during the height of the Vietnam War. The film is based on real events, focusing on a hundred hour span of the 24th Evacuation Hospital, the last major Army Hospital to close as America had given up the fight and was going home.
Starring Amy Acker, Danica McKellar, Faye Dunaway, JC Chasez, Andre Royo, Kieu Chinh, Tom Sizemore and Ed Begley Jr., 21 and a Wakeup shows a side of the Vietnam War never before seen on film.
