Speed and Angels

Running time: N/A

In 2003, director Peyton Wilson entered the world of U.S. Navy fighter pilots. With unprecedented access granted by the Navy, Peyton captured and created the most intimate film ever made on fighter pilots. Epic High Definition aerial footage and stunning cockpit photography provide a dramatic backdrop for the story of Jay and Meagan, the two young Navy officers she encountered. The two and a half year journey follows Jay and Meagan as they chased their childhood dream of becoming naval aviators, and eventually leading to the biggest challenge young officers face: wartime deployment to Iraq. What begins as a story of realizing a childhood dream turns into a story of fighting for one?s life and career as Jay and Meagan face the realities of war. Join Cinequest, the filmmakers and pilots for a special screening of the stunning and moving action-documentary, Speed and Angels.
