The IMPACT Film Fund hosted a series of six films this week as part of their film festival. I wanted to see each one, but couldn’t manage that and the work schedule, so I had to choose. I picked The Messenger, a powerful film about the Army’s casualty notification officers. The story, told from the perspective of the soldiers tasked with notifying the next of kin of the fallen soldier was at times hard to watch, but the story was one worth telling.
