WLA/LWV-Reel Mondays: RESTREPO
Monday, January 23, 7-9:30 pm
RESTREPO is the second offering in a new series of quarterly, thought-provoking documentaries brought to you on Monday evenings by the League of Women Voters and Wilton Library. RESTREPO is a feature-length documentary that chronicles the deployment of a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley. The movie focuses on a remote 15-man outpost, ”Restrepo,” named after a platoon medic who was killed in action. The goal is to make viewers feel as if they have just been through a 90-minute deployment. This is war, full stop. The conclusions are up to you. Remaining films in the series: MISS REPRESENTATION on March 12, 2012; DIVE! on July 16, 2012. Discussion following the film led by David Graybill. Refreshments served. Co-sponsored by the Wilton League of Women Voters and Wilton Library. Registration recommended.
And don’t forget to mark your calendars for the remaining film in the series:
