JMach Sandbox: This Is Not a Draft – Film Experience This is not just a film screening. This is a guided experience built around community, connection, and healing. Join us for a special presentation of This Is Not a Draft—a powerful story of service, sacrifice, and life after war. This 1 hour and 40 minute film brings real emotion to the surface and opens the door to conversations many of us have been carrying in silence. But we don’t stop at the film. At JMach Sandbox, we believe no one should walk away from something heavy alone. Optional: After the screening, we create space to connect, process, and reset together. You’ll have the opportunity to meet others in the community, engage in real conversations, and take part in optional mental health activations such as breathwork, art, and peer support. This is a veteran-led environment designed to meet you where you’re at—whether you’re a veteran, first responder, family member, or supporter. No pressure. No expectations. Just real people and real connection. Event Details Thursday, April 30th 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM Phoenix Center for the Arts 1202 N 3rd St Phoenix, AZ 85004 What to Expect Film Screening: This Is Not a Draft Community Connection + Meet & Greet Mental Health Activation (ex. Breathwork, Art, Peer Support) Veteran Mental Health Resources On Site Why This Matters Most events open people up… and send them home. We don’t.
