"Thank you so much for coming to the Club to talk to us about your time in Afghanistan and the work that went into 'Before the Dawn'. There was scarcely a dry eye in the house when the film finished, before you even stood to talk. And I do know that some very battle-hardened individuals were mightily moved. "
