2017 Virginia Film Fest EXCLUSIVE: Special Guest Noel Fisher
Just in time for Veterans Day Weekend, the 2017 Virginia Film Fest provided audiences a look at the National Geographic series, The Long Road Home. From Academy Award-nominated executive producer Mike Medavoy and based on The New York Times best-selling book by Martha Raddatz, the series relives a heroic fight for survival during the Iraq War when the 1st Cavalry Division from Fort Hood was ferociously ambushed on April 4, 2004, in Sadr City, Baghdad — a day that came to be known as “Black Sunday.”
