Actress America Ferrera hopes new film will stir discussion of wars' effects on soldiersAuthor: GMANews.TV
Column: Entertainment MEXICO CITY - America Ferrera wants the United States to address the struggles that soldiers and their families face after they return home from Iraq or Afghanistan. The 25-year-old is starring in and producing "The Dry Land," a film that follows the difficulties of a young man to adapt to his small town life after returning home from a tour of duty. She says the United States "should have an honest discussion about the effects that war has on our society, on the men who come back, on the families that are broken from it." The star of ABC's "Ugly Betty" said in a Friday telephone interview she hopes the film ignites such discussion. Ryan O'Nan and Melisa Leo also star in the film. - AP Source: GMANews |
