World Premiere of ‘The League of Grateful Sons’

Sons Must Ask. Fathers Must Tell.

On Friday, October 28 at 6:30pm, the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival is pleased to host the world premiere of The League of Grateful Sons, a powerful documentary which tells the story of hope, heroes, and generations. The premiere will be held at the Lila Cockrell Theatre, located at 200 East Market Street in San Antonio, Texas.

The League of Grateful Sons is not just another war film — it is the true story of how faithful fathers and honoring sons returned to the black sands of Iwo Jima for the sixtieth anniversary of the epic battle and unearthed generational lessons for the sons and daughters of our day.

Tickets to the film premiere are $7 for adults, $5 for children 12 and under, and are available at the door. Those who purchase a full festival pass get in free.
