Natural Awakenings Naples and Fort Myers

Antiwar Movie Screening in Fort Myers

Paying the Price for Peace, a full-length documentary that chronicles S. Brian Willson, who lost both of his legs protesting against arm shipments to Central America in 1987; and his former wife Holley Rauen, a member of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Fort Myers, who supported his efforts and cared for him at the tragic event and afterwards, will be shown at 6 p.m., July 2, at the church. The film, which features many other veterans of foreign wars, recently premiered in Hanoi, Vietnam, and is being shown in film festivals, Unitarian Universalist congregations and Veterans for Peace Centers around the country.  

A peace and social activist, Rauen has been assisting with production of the film for four years.  The two were married only 10 days before he was run over by a weapons train in a non-violent protest outside of a naval station in Concord, California. Willson, an Air Force veteran of the Vietnam War, continues to advocate against wars.
