  FIGHTING FOR LIFE - Powerful and emotional, this real-life M*A*S*H for our times is the story of doctors and nurses fighting on the frontlines in the battle for life. With extraordinary access to combat support hospitals in Iraq, medevac flights with wounded veterans, and military hospitals in the U.S. and Germany, director/co-writer Terry Sanders interweaves three stories: military doctors, nurses and medics, working with compassion, skill and dedication in the vortex of the Iraq War; wounded soldiers and marines reacting with courage, dignity and determination to survive and to heal; and students at USU, the "West Point" of military medicine, on their journey toward becoming career military physicians. Features the song "No Surrender" - Bruce Springsteen's haunting elegy of compassion and determination. - View the trailer at  www.fightingforlifethemovie.com - 89 minutes. - Not Rated.
