Please join Campus Progress, START: Students Taking Action & Responsibility Today for a screening of The War Tapes. Straight from the front lines in Iraq, The War Tapes is the first war movie filmed by soldiers themselves. They mounted tripods on gun turrets, inside dashboards and used POV mounts on their Kevlar helmets and vests. They filmed all of the footage in Iraq, which amounted to over 800 hours of tape. In the end, The War Tapes is a complex, heartbreaking, and completely unique opportunity for millions to witness first-person experiences of war—a modern-day Odyssey—and the experience of homecoming.

This event is free and open to the public.

Refreshments will be served.
