FILM CLIP PROVISION COURTESY OF SCOTT AND VICKI BEHENNA

Attention Michael Behenna Supporters:

This Saturday, June 11th at 1pm the premier of the documentary film PURPLE HEARTS – A REQUIEM FOR MAD DOG 5 will be shown as part of the deadCenter Film Festival inOklahoma City.  This powerful film about Michael and his platoon was created by Michael Wilkerson.  The story is narrated by academy award winner Jeremy Irons and told through the eyes of the soldiers of 5th platoon, our family, and the experts who analyzed the forensic

evidence in Michael’s case.

The documentary is an emotionally compelling story detailing the journey of 5th platoon beginning at its inception, the IED attack that killed two of Michael's soldiers, the capture and detention of Ali Mansur, his release and Michael's decision to interrogate Mansur, the shooting, and ultimately the trial.  PURPLE HEARTS tells the WHOLE STORY and exposes the truth about what really happened.  It will bring you to tears as well as rage by the time the film ends and the lights come on.

PURPLE HEARTS will be shown in the Kerr Auditorium located in the Sandridge  Energy Building at 123 Robert S. Kerr Avenue in downtown Oklahoma City.  Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased 20 minutes before show time (1pm.)  Unfortunately you can NOT buy tickets in advance (unless you buy an all-access pass to the deadCenter Film Festival).  The Kerr Auditorium only holds approximately 400 people so plan to get there early to ensure you get a seat.  To read more about the deadCenter Film Festival click on the following link:  http://deadcenter.slated.com/2011/films/purpleheartsrequiemformaddog5_michaelwilkerson_deadcenter2011

We would love for the Kerr Auditorium to be filled to capacity so please forward this email to your friends and family and encourage them to attend.  I promise they will not be disappointed.  We have received many emails regarding getting a copy of Purple Hearts on dvd. National distribution for the Purple Hearts documentary is still being being worked on so for the time being it is not available on dvd.  We’ll keep you posted.

Thank you for all your support of a soldier we proudly call our son,

Scott & Vicki Behenna
