Charles Annenberg Weingarten and his signature project
explore will hold the premiere film screening of Fish
Out of Water at the Mountain Film Festival on
Saturday, May 29th. Two soldiers featured in the
film, Christian Ellis and Joe Gracia, will join Mr.
Weingarten for a Q & A session following the film to
discuss their experiences as grievously injured
veterans learning to fly fish through the
WHAT: organization Sun Valley Adaptive Sports.

Fish Out of Water is an emotional film about change,
rehabilitation, and the bonds between soldiers
struggling to adapt to life after the horror of war.
In the United States, more than 600,000 veterans of
the Iraq and Afghanistan wars suffer from Post-
Traumatic Stress Disorder or traumatic brain
injuries. To help some of these "Wounded Warriors"
cope with their experiences, and to promote both
physical and psychological healing, Sun Valley
Adaptive Sports harnesses the power of nature and
sports. In response to his treatment, one of the six
young veterans featured in the film states, "You made
me feel normal again."

Produced and directed by Charles Annenberg Weingarten,
the film is a recent release from explore's vast
media library.
