An image of wounded Iraq war veteran turned anti-war activist Tomas Young overlooking Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan opens Phil Donahue and Ellen Spiro's "Body of War," the outspoken new documentary that debuted on 9/11 at the Toronto International Film Festival. Young (center) shares his story in sometimes brutal detail in the passion project, which is seeking distribution at the festival. Snapped at pre-screening private dinner, Tomas Young posed with the film's co-director Donahue (left) and musician Eddie Vedder (right), who wrote a pair of powerful new songs for the film. It was on September 13, 2001 that Tomas Young was inspired to enlist in the U.S. military, moved by President Bush's speech at Ground Zero and determined to join soldiers in a battle against the Taliban & Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Instead, he was sent to Iraq where five days into his tour he was nearly killed, surviving an attack that left him paralyzed from the chest down. Now, Young has become an outspoken veteran against the war whose own story moved Tuesday's Toronto audience to give him three standing ovations after the film's first public screening. After a brief Q & A, Vedder took the stage to belt out his pair of songs for the movie and told the audience that Sire Records has signed on to release a collection of songs to support Young and his cause.
