DENVER, Jan. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Fathom Events
is bringing "Free Burma Rangers," a new documentary
chronicling the remarkable true story of a heroic American family,
to theaters across the country on February
24 and 25. The film depicts the journey of David Eubank, a U.S. Special Forces veteran, and
his family, who have dedicated their lives to rescuing war and
terrorist-oppressed people in Myanmar (formerly Burma), Iraq,
and Syria, and rendering aid to
those affected by those conflicts.
Tickets for "Free Burma Rangers" can be
purchased at www.FathomEvents.com and participating theater
box offices.
Fathom Events presents "Free Burma Rangers" in more than
800 select movie theaters on Tuesday,
February 24, Wednesday, February
25, and Thursday, March 2, at
7:00pm local time, through Fathom's
Digital Broadcast Network (DBN). For a complete list of theater
locations, visit the Fathom Events website (theaters and
participants are subject to change).
"Documenting the Eubank's work throughout the Middle East has been one of the most humbling
and life-changing processes I've yet to experience," said Director
Chris Sinclair. "To watch this film
is to follow a journey of selflessness and witness what it really
means to put others before oneself, no matter the cost."
Produced by Deidox Films in collaboration with LifeWay Films and
directed by Brent Gudgel and
Chris Sinclair, "Free Burma
Rangers" documents David and his wife Karen as they move to
Myanmar during the height of its
civil war with one mission in mind: to free the oppressed and
rescue victims. David began training ethnic groups to conduct
rescue missions to help those in need, while indigenous medics set
up medical clinics and Karen developed children's programs. Soon,
the indigenous leaders asked if David would train teams for them,
and in 1997, the Free Burma Rangers were officially founded. More
than two decades later, the Eubank family continues to serve
oppressed people in the Middle
East. They have raised three children in Myanmar, and the Free Burma Rangers have today
trained more than 4,500 members and helped more than 1.5 million
displaced individuals.
"Fathom Events continually strives to bring powerful
documentaries to audiences across the country," said Fathom Events
CEO Ray Nutt. "The story of the
Eubanks and their unwavering dedication to serving victims, no
matter their ethnicity or status, is an inspiration that will
resonate with viewers of all ages and backgrounds."
