AFTER ACTION Screening and Community Discussion
South Carolina ETV, the ETV Endowment and the Aiken Center for the Arts invite you to celebrate the upcoming broadcast premiere of Season Two of After Action, a timely and important series filmed right here in South Carolina by SCETV and broadcast on PBS stations nationwide. After Action unpacks the veteran experience as our service men and women re-enter civilian life.
We’ll gather in the Brown Pavilion at the Aiken Center for the Arts to watch a producer’s cut of a new episode, Art and Healing. Then, series host Stacy Pearsall and members of Guitars for Vets will discuss how art and music can provide solace and healing for veterans coping with PTSD and other issues.
Thelisha Eaddy, host of SC Public Radio's Morning Edition, will moderate as we honor and acknowledge the unfiltered - and often untold - stories of our military personnel with this very special platform for vital dialogue about the unique issues they face.
ABOUT AFTER ACTION Season Two: Hosted by Air Force combat veteran Stacy Pearsall, After Action‘s new season showcases the experiences of 21 diverse veterans from across the country and their candid conversations about what life is like before, during and after action. Season Two explores topics like military parenting challenges, faith, toxic exposure and LGBTQ+ service issues. As After Action seeks to demystify the military experience, this new season continues to provide a platform for dialogue among family members and amplifies the voices of those who serve. By preserving these deeply personal military stories, After Action builds a bridge of understanding between civilians and our service members and veterans.
After Action Season Two premieres on SCETV on Monday, May 6 at 9 PM.
