This release comes to us from 1091 Pictures
Directed by Eric Werthman and starring Danny Glover, The Drummer is made up of three interwoven stories that reveal the traumatic effects of war on the psyches of veterans from different generations. Danny Glover is Mark Walker, a Vietnam war veteran who has become a lawyer and political advocate for soldiers who have suffered mental health issues through their tenure with the Army. Walker works at The Drummer, a small, “anti-war” coffee shop, where the soldiers he meets open up the issue of the mental struggles and physical toll that war takes on veterans.
The Drummer will be available for rent or purchase starting November 9th. We first reported on this film when it was acquired by 1091 Pictures. You can read that article here.
