A one-night screening of "9000 Miles to Delco," a documentary in which Delaware County veterans share their Vietnam War experiences in their own words, narrated by Rocky Bleier, followed by a Q&A with director Anthony B. Sacco.

Expect a seated, theater-style screening in a 440-seat historic venue, with an audience made up largely of Delaware County residents, veterans, and their families. The film is built around first-person testimony from local servicemen and a nurse who served in Vietnam, so the tone is likely solemn and personal rather than flashy, with recognition of people from the community on screen. The post-film Q&A with director Anthony B. Sacco, offered only at this November 10 showing, gives the evening a conversational, town-hall quality before attendees file out onto State Street.

The Media TheatreA historic 440-seat theater on State Street, the Media Theatre opened in 1927 as a vaudeville house and cinema and still retains its English Renaissance decor. The intimate setting and strong acoustics make it a beloved spot for live musicals, plays, and concerts in the heart of downtown Media.
