U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. --  The Academy Association of Graduates will host a feature-length film documentary featuring the Academy 6 p.m., May 21, at the Regal Interquest Stadium 14 movie theater.

Filmed over three years, "A Year in the Blue" is the most realistic portrayal of the cadet journey ever filmed, said an AOG news release.

"A Year in the Blue" is an intimate portrayal of life inside the Academy -- the heartbreaks and triumphs of balancing boot-camp style military training, a rigorous four-year college education, mandatory athletics, flying and parachuting.

Unprecedented access allows cameras to follow the cadets from the dorms to Jacks Valley, the airfield, Falcon Stadium, West Point, Alaska and into the skies for stunning aerial photography.

The cadets featured in this film are members of the Class of 2014, set to graduate in just a few short weeks, said the release.

The cost is $9 for AOG members and $11 for all others.
