   WHAT:     SPECIAL SCREENING OF COLUMBIA PICTURES & REVOLUTION STUDIOS'
             TEARS OF THE SUN

             In director Antoine Fuqua's (Training Day) new action-adventure
             film, Bruce Willis stars as Lt. A.K. Waters, the loyal veteran
             officer of a Navy SEAL unit.  When he's sent into the heart of
             Africa, the usually hard-bitten Waters finds himself deeply
             conflicted at having to choose between following orders and the
             dictates of his own conscience.

             Though a fictionalization, Tears of the Sun deals with the
             gritty realism of human conflict as Lt. Waters travels to
             war-torn central Africa to rescue Dr. Lena Kendricks (Monica
             Bellucci), a U.S. citizen who runs a mission in the
             countryside.  But when Lt. Waters arrives, Dr. Kendricks
             refuses to abandon the refugees under her care.  She implores
             Waters to escort them on a dangerous trek through the dense
             jungle to the nearby border.  During the journey, the SEALs
             find themselves the unwitting guardians of a man sought by the
             rebel militia.  This further endangers their already hazardous
             mission, but all the while strengthening Waters' resolve to
             protect Lena and the refugees, and to deliver them safely
             across the border.
