The southeastern US premiere!

Created by writer, director and Oscar-award winning actor Tim Robbins. Set in fictional "Gomorrah," Embedded is a hysterical and audacious comedy-drama about the invasion of Iraq. Between the heavily satirized Office of Special Affairs and the tenderly depicted men and women serving in the armed forces, Embedded pits the journalists – conflicted between searching for the truth and submitting their reports (and paychecks) through the many gatekeepers struggling to keep the media on the "right" side. Through its quest to find the truth and fault across all party lines, Embedded finds its balance by incorporating actual journalistic reports from news sources such as the BBC and New York Times, some of which never made it into the American media.

Age recommendation: 16+ Contains adult situations and language.
