DETAILS:
Do the current U.S. wars have you up, down, angry, happy, blissfully ignorant, or over-informed? If so, read on!
What: Screening of 'Why We Fight' followed by discussion.
'Why We Fight' is a non-partisan documentary “which explores a half-century of U.S. foreign policy from World War II to the Iraq War, revealing how, as Eisenhower warned, political and corporate interests have become alarmingly entangled in the business of war.” [from the movie’s dustcover].

Many members of the Transylvania Community are concerned about the wars the U.S. is involved in and want more information. Many also feel that we are not sufficiently engaged or aware of the importance and consequences of current and future wars. We see this event as an informational, educational, and question-raising opportunity that will lead to greater engagement with related issues that are of great importance currently and will be as the future unfolds. We hope and expect that this event will lead to more informed discussion and analysis, with further in-depth programming at Transylvania in the fall semester of next academic year.
