Join GI Film Festival special guest comedian Jeff Ross  and Blake Clark as they kick off the festival with a screening of Jeff's film, Patriot Act.  Inspired by the passing of U.S.O. perennial Bob Hope, Friars Club roast-master Ross takes actor/comedian Drew Carey up on an invitation to join the U.S.O. in their ongoing mission - delivering punch-lines on the front lines.

Having just bought a new camcorder, Ross travels to Iraq and captures his rare, intimate, and often times hilarious experience on camera.  Armed with nothing but that camcorder and some jokes, Ross shoots his own life-changing experience as he travels alongside six other well known comics, entertaining battle weary G.I.'s stationed in some of the most remote parts of the Sunni Triangle.

In addition to Ross, Patriot Act stars Drew Carey, Kyle Dunnigan, Rocky La Porte, Blake Clark, Andres Fernandez, and Kathy Kinney.
