Update: We received word from Chilutti that this event will be postponed.

“The Journey Home,” a film co-created by Glenside native Gary Chilutti, owner of Films-4-Good, will be shown on Saturday, September 23 at 1:00pm and 4:30pm at the Willow Grove American Legion Post 308, 2305 Computer Road in Willow Grove.

The film is intended to save veteran and active duty lives from being lost to trauma-driven suicide and is being shown as part of the Music & Arts Festival for a Cause, which will run from 12:00pm to 8:00pm on Saturday on the Legion grounds.

All members of the community are welcome. A post-screening opportunity for discussion with the filmmaker, along with resource information, will be available after each showing.
