FREE SCREENING FOR FILM SOCIETY MEMBERS

The San Joaquin Film Society is proud to offer its Members a Free Screening of "D Tour."

SYNOPSIS

Pat Spurgeon is a professional musician whose dreams of being in a successful rock ‘n’ roll band have come true. But just as his band, Rogue Wave, starts to take off, his kidney starts to fail. “D tour” chronicles the life of a musician with “no back-up plan” as he’s faced with daily dialysis, a grueling tour, and a search for a new kidney. “D tour” will also address issues with the health care system, the lack of affordable insurance, the importance of organ donation, plus much more. Featuring live performances from Rogue Wave, The Moore Brothers, John Vanderslice, Nada Surf, and Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie).
