G.I. Film Festival and Hollywood Patriots

Today’s World Footprints  pays tribute to our nation’s heroes--our men and women in uniform, and the Hollywood patriots who support them.

From the red carpet of the G.I. Film Festival in Washington DC, we will share our conversations with three award-winning actors: Gary Sinise, William Devane and Lou Diamond Phillips.  We also met award-winning filmmaker Rodney Ray and budding filmmaker Chris Loverro.

The GI Film Festival is the first film festival in the nation to exclusively celebrate the successes and sacrifices of the service member through the medium of film. 

Then we’ll chat with actor Sean Kanan who is best known for his role as Deacon Sharpe on the young and the restless. Sean joins us to talk about his journey from the mid-west to Hollywood and his travels with the USO.
