“Lonesome Soldier” A Memorial Day Weekend Tribute to Military Heroes

Sunday, May 26 at Savor Cinema, Fort Lauderdale

On Sunday, May 26, FLIFF (Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival) and Military Movies will honor our nation’s heroes during Memorial Day Weekend with the screening of Lonesome Soldier at 5PM at Savor Cinema, 503 SE 6th Street, Fort Lauderdale.

Lonesome Soldier follows Jackson Harlow, from young dreamer to haunted war veteran in this harrowing portrayal of PTSD and the effects it has, not only on those who serve, but also on their loved ones. Based on the book “Lonesome Soldier – The Long Road Home” by Linda Lee, Lonesome Soldier is directed by Nino Aldi and was co-written by Alexander Randazzo and award-winning documentarian Lionel Chetwynd. 

In addition to co-writing the screenplay, Randazzo also portrays Jackson Harlow, a young man from the heart of Tennessee who served in the war in Iraq. Haunted by the vivid memories of war, Jackson’s homecoming proves to be a profound turning point in his life, as he discovers that the battle he faces is far from over; it’s just different. 

Rounding out the ensemble cast are John Ashton, Allison McAtee, Steve Monroe, Jesse James, Dion Earl, Flavia Watson, Leah Grosjean and Michael Southworth.

Lonesome Soldier will be screened at 5PM on Sunday, May 26 at Savor Cinema, 503 SE 6th Street, Fort Lauderdale. Free parking is available at the garage on SE 5th Avenue adjacent to the theater. Tickets are $15. For further information, go to https://fliff.com/events/lonesomesoldier
