(indistinct conversation)

00:01.701 --> 00:03.348
- [Narrator] Joint Base Andrews rolled out

00:03.348 --> 00:06.010
the red carpet this weekend for two special guests.

00:06.010 --> 00:08.187
^Film director Ryan Coogler and Executive Producer

00:08.187 --> 00:11.151
^Nate Moore came to JBA to promote and

00:11.151 --> 00:13.397
^share an advance screening of their new

00:13.397 --> 00:16.230
blockbuster film, 'Black Panther'.

00:16.319 --> 00:18.214
The two were taken on a tour of

00:18.214 --> 00:20.500
the 1st Helicopter Squadron where they were

00:20.500 --> 00:22.936
given an up-close look at the UH-1Ns,

00:22.936 --> 00:25.198
as well as a general overview of the

00:25.198 --> 00:28.719
squadron's support role in the National Capital Region.

00:28.719 --> 00:32.138
Moore expresses the satisfaction he gets by

00:32.138 --> 00:35.638
by being able to premiere the film on JBA.

00:35.927 --> 00:37.661
^- Just being able to give back after working

00:37.661 --> 00:39.642
^on a movie, in an edit suite for a year,

00:39.642 --> 00:41.848
^to be able to give it back and see how people

00:41.848 --> 00:44.295
^actually get to react in a real setting is awesome.

00:44.295 --> 00:45.878
^And again the troops do so much for us so

00:45.878 --> 00:48.711
^it's the least we can do, ya know.

00:49.398 --> 00:51.340
- [Narrator] Coogler then described his

00:51.340 --> 00:52.758
connection to the military, and the

00:52.758 --> 00:54.660
impression that it left on him.

00:54.660 --> 00:56.265
- The biggest affect the military had

00:56.265 --> 00:58.235
on me was my grandfather, my father's father.

00:58.235 --> 01:00.325
He was a paratrooper. Just that discipline

01:00.325 --> 01:03.457
that he had, you know had a profound impact on

01:03.457 --> 01:06.906
my father, it had a profound impact on me.

01:06.906 --> 01:09.197
- [Narrator] And what tour is complete without a little

01:09.197 --> 01:12.947
demonstration from the military working dogs?

01:13.212 --> 01:14.904
The two were then presented with a little

01:14.904 --> 01:17.517
hardware of their own by the 11th Wing Director

01:17.517 --> 01:20.102
of Staff, LtCol David Fink, before making

01:20.102 --> 01:22.671
their way to the base theater, where

01:22.671 --> 01:24.560
the director and producer were greeted by

01:24.560 --> 01:27.242
cheers and applause from over 1500 fans,

01:27.242 --> 01:30.498
who braved the cold rain and long lines,

01:30.498 --> 01:32.646
for a chance to listen to the question

01:32.646 --> 01:35.861
and answer session, and ultimately, the premiere

01:35.861 --> 01:38.973
of the much anticipated 'Black Panther'.

01:38.973 --> 01:40.990
- We got a lot of love for the troops.

01:40.990 --> 01:45.035
Our movie is about people who serve their country.

01:45.035 --> 01:47.234
At the end of the day it's really just about family,

01:47.234 --> 01:49.484
you know what I mean, so keep loving your family,

01:49.484 --> 01:52.019
keep waking up remembering what you're doing it for,

01:52.019 --> 01:54.436
you know, we're kinda family.
