You know how at Brave New Foundation, we're always attempting to make an impact with our films?
We helped spread the word about hard-hitting documentaries like Outfoxed, Wal-Mart, and Iraq for Sale. Our sister organization, Brave New Films, then started making its own short videos like The REAL McCain and our FOX Attacks series, and you saw the chance to reach even more people by spreading them all over the web. Well, with a great deal of excitement (and just a wee bit of nervousness!), we bring you the next way for you to get involved.

For twelve years, the Nazis looted and destroyed art on a scale unprecedented in history. But heroic young art historians and curators from America and across Europe fought back, mounting a miraculous campaign that would rescue and return the millions of art works displaced by the war. This documentary takes an epic journey through seven countries and into a violent whirlwind of fanaticism, greed, and warfare that threatened to wipe out the artistic heritage of Europe. Narrated by Joan Allen.

August 2 - Diamond Park – Monthly dedication ceremony
Start: 8:00 pm

Based on the true story of English journalist George Hogg, this moving film chronicles Hogg's (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) efforts in the 1930s to lead 60 orphans over the Liu Pan Shan mountains in war-ravaged China and into the safety of the Mongolian desert. Joining Hogg and the children are an American nurse (Radha Mitchell) and the fearless leader of a Chinese partisan group (Chow Yun-Fat). The journey isn't easy, but as these unlikely allies boldly forge forward through snow-covered mountains and unforgiving desert, they learn the true meaning of responsibility, courage and love.
“An engaging account of one man's journey through war and those circumstances that give meaning to the saying 'Heroes are made, not born'." - Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel.
