Camilo Mejia, a veteran of the Iraq war, is featured in the film, FINDING OUR VOICES. While on leave, Camilo went into hiding for 5 months and refused to return to duty in Iraq. He turned himself in at the Peace Abbey in Shearborn, MA and was subsequently jailed for 11 months by the U.S. Army. He continues to speak out against the war.

An important point of view! Camilo's book, Road from Ar Ramadi, provides us with a deeper understanding of the inherent injustice of this occupation.
