The Native Veteran Shorts program runs approximately one hour and will be screened at 3 p.m., 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Nov. 29. All tickets are open and free to the public, with reserved seating available online and in-person.

We’re proud to be able to show them for free on the big screen at Circle Cinema.”
