Presented by Cal Humanities in partnership with UC Humanities Research Institute,
California State Library, and Los Angeles Public Library
This panel examines how veterans have been portrayed on the screen, from classics such as The Greatest Years of Our Lives, The Deer Hunter,and Coming Home, to recent documentaries like Invisible War, Wartorn, and Korengal, as well as how the medium of film both reflects and shapes society’s understanding of war and its aftermath.
Facilitator:
David Theo Goldberg, PhD, Director of the UC Humanities Research Institute, Executive Director, Digital Media & Learning Research Hub, and Professor of Comparative Literature, Anthropology, and Criminology, Law and Society at UC Irvine
Panelists:
Kirby Dick, Emmy and Academy award nominated director and writer, The Invisible War
Jean Oppenheimer, Film critic and writer, American Cinematographer Magazine
Brayden Yoder, Writer, director, screenwriter, Breakdown; US Army veteran, OIF
This program was one of five Public Conversations exploring different facets of the veteran experience conducted during Summer 2014, as part of War Comes Home , Cal Humanities’ statewide initiative to open minds to the critical issues veterans face when coming home from war. How should communities welcome service members back? How can we build bridges of understanding between those who have served and those who have not? For more information, visit www.calhum.org.
