Founder of Project Recover, a nonprofit that employs 21^st-century technology and academic expertise to bring closure to MIA families, Dr. Scannon will be joined by Project Recover CEO Derek Abbey for a screening of the recently-released documentary “To What Remains” and a post-film conversation about the race to bring MIAs home before the window to find them closes.
