Easter Seals Arkansas will host a special showing of the movie War Eagle, Arkansas on September 25, 2008 at the new Chenal 9 Theater at 7:30 pm.

The producer of War Eagle, Arkansas, Vince Insalaco, will be on hand for a post production wrap-up discussion with champagne and chocolates following the movie.

Filmed in a small Arkansas town, War Eagle, Arkansas is the coming of age story of the strong friendship between two boys with disabilities. One of the boys has Cerebral Palsy and is in a wheel chair and the other has a difficult time communicating because of stuttering. Together, the pair takes on the challenges of growing up in rural Arkansas; overcoming obstacles and achieving their goals.

“Easter Seals is proud to endorse this movie because it encompasses our mission of assisting people to become independent. The bond between these two boys is heartwarming. They are friends and neither sees the other’s disability,” says Sharon Moone-Jochums, President and CEO of Easter Seals Arkansas.
